E. Feigin a introduit la contraction 𝔮 d’une algèbre de Lie semi-simple 𝔤 dans arXiv :1007.0646 et arXiv :1101.1898. Nous démontrons que ces algèbres de Lie non-réductives conservent quelque unes des propriétés de 𝔤. En particulier, les algèbres des invariants des représentations adjointe et respectivement coadjointe de 𝔮 sont libres, et l’algèbre enveloppante de 𝔮 est un module libre sur son centre.

Recently, E.Feigin introduced a very interesting contraction 𝔮 of a semisimple Lie algebra 𝔤 (see arXiv:1007.0646 and arXiv:1101.1898). We prove that these non-reductive Lie algebras retain good invariant-theoretic properties of 𝔤. For instance, the algebras of invariants of both adjoint and coadjoint representations of 𝔮 are free, and also the enveloping algebra of 𝔮 is a free module over its centre.
