We will also pay attention to the following theorem: If L is a simple Lie algebra generated by extremal elements that are not sandwiches, then it is classical, i.e., essentially a Lie algebra of Chevalley type. This result, of which various geometric proofs are emerging (mainly thanks to Cuypers, Fleischmann, Roberts, and Shpectorov), gives a new proof of the classi cation of classical simple Lie algebras of characteristic distinct from 2 and 3. This is joint work with G abor Ivanyos and Dan Roozemond. For the full paper, see [7] http://hdl.handle.net/10630/8538 Lie, Algebras de Extremal elements in Lie Algebras
