We consider contractions of Lie and Poisson algebras and the behaviour of their centres under contractions. A polynomial Poisson algebra 𝒜 = 𝕂 [ 𝔸 n ] is said to be of Kostant type, if its centre Z ( 𝒜 ) is freely generated by homogeneous polynomials F 1 , ... , F r such that they give Kostant’s regularity criterion on 𝔸 n ( d x F i are linear independent if and only if the Poisson tensor has the maximal rank at x ). If the initial Poisson algebra is of Kostant type and F i satisfy a certain degree-equality, then the contraction is also of Kostant type. The general result is illustrated by two examples. Both are contractions of a simple Lie algebra > g corresponding to a decomposition > g = > h V , where > h is a subalgebra. Here 𝒜 = 𝒮 ( > g ) = 𝕂 [ > g * ] , Z ( 𝒜 ) = 𝒮 ( > g ) > g , and the contracted Lie algebra is a semidirect product of > h and an Abelian ideal isomorphic to > g / > h as an > h -module. In the first example, > h is a symmetric subalgebra and in the second, it is a Borel subalgebra and V is the nilpotent radical of an opposite Borel.

A polynomial Poisson algebra ${\mathcal {A}}=\mathbb {K}[\mathbb {A}^n]$ is said to be of Kostant type, if its centre $Z({\mathcal {A}})$ is freely generated by homogeneous polynomials $F_1,\ldots ,F_r$ such that they give Kostant’s regularity criterion on $\mathbb {A}^n (d_xF_i$ are linear independent if and only if the Poisson tensor has the maximal rank at $x$). If the initial Poisson algebra is of Kostant type and $F_i$ satisfy a certain degree-equality, then the contraction is also of Kostant type. The general result is illustrated by two examples. Both are contractions of a simple Lie algebra $> g$ corresponding to a decomposition $> g=> h \oplus V$, where $>h$ is a subalgebra. Here ${\mathcal {A}}={\mathcal {S}}(> g)=\mathbb {K}[> g^*], Z({\mathcal {A}})={\mathcal {S}}(> g)^{> g}$, and the contracted Lie algebra is a semidirect product of $>h$ and an Abelian ideal isomorphic to $>g/>h$ as an $>h$-module. In the first example, $>h$ is a symmetric subalgebra and in the second, it is a Borel subalgebra and $V$ is the nilpotent radical of an opposite Borel.
