%0 Journal Article %A Ancochea Bermúdez, José María %A Campoamor Stursberg, Otto-Rudwig %T On the product by generators of characteristically nilpotent Lie S-algebras %D 2003 %@ 0022-4049 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50566 %X We show that the product by generators preserves the characteristic nilpotence of Lie algebras, provided that the multiplied algebras belongs to the class of S-algebras. In particular, this shows the existence of nonsplit characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras h such that the quotient dim h−dim Z(h)=dim Z(h) is as small as wanted. %~
