Abstract:
Suppose that a Lie algebra $L$ admits a finite Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with cyclic kernel $F$ and complement $H$ such that the characteristic of the ground field does not divide $|H|$. It is proved that if the subalgebra $C_L(F)$ of fixed points of the kernel has finite dimension $m$ and the subalgebra $C_L(H)$ of fixed points of the complement is nilpotent of class $c$, then $L$ has a nilpotent subalgebra of finite codimension bounded in terms of $m,c,|H|$, and $|F|$ whose nilpotency class is bounded in terms of only $|H|$ and $c$. Examples show that the condition of $F$ being cyclic is essential.
