Extract

In general, the class of a nilpotent linear algebra of dimension n is at most n + 1, and the index, or derived length, of a solvable linear algebra of dimension n is at most n. In this note it is shown that, for a nilpotent linear algebra of dimension n satisfying x2 = 0 for all x, the class is at most n; and bounds are obtained for the indices of solvable Lie algebras.
