contents Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In this paper we classify all regular decompositions of $\mathfrak{g}$ and its irreducible root system $Δ$. A regular decomposition is a decomposition $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_1 \oplus \dots \oplus \mathfrak{g}_m$, where each $\mathfrak{g}_i$ and $\mathfrak{g}_i \oplus \mathfrak{g}_j$ are regular subalgebras. Such a decomposition induces a partition of the corresponding root system, i.e. $Δ= Δ_1 \sqcup \dots \sqcup Δ_m$, such that all $Δ_i$ and $Δ_i \sqcup Δ_j$ are closed. Partitions of $Δ$ with $m=2$ were known before. In this paper we prove that the case $m \ge 3$ is possible only for systems of type $A_n$ and describe all such partitions in terms of $m$-partitions of $(n+1)$. These results are then extended to a classification of regular decompositions of $\mathfrak{g}$.

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In this paper we classify all regular decompositions of $\mathfrak{g}$ and its irreducible root system $Δ$. A regular decomposition is a decomposition $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_1 \oplus \dots \oplus \mathfrak{g}_m$, where each $\mathfrak{g}_i$ and $\mathfrak{g}_i \oplus \mathfrak{g}_j$ are regular subalgebras. Such a decomposition induces a partition of the corresponding root system, i.e. $Δ= Δ_1 \sqcup \dots \sqcup Δ_m$, such that all $Δ_i$ and $Δ_i \sqcup Δ_j$ are closed. Partitions of $Δ$ with $m=2$ were known before. In this paper we prove that the case $m \ge 3$ is possible only for systems of type $A_n$ and describe all such partitions in terms of $m$-partitions of $(n+1)$. These results are then extended to a classification of regular decompositions of $\mathfrak{g}$.
