ABSTRACT We reprove the results of Jordan [18] and Siebert [30] and show that the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on an irreducible aﬃne variety X is simple if and only if X is a smooth variety. Given proof is self-contained and does not depend on papers mentioned above. Besides, the structure of the module of polynomial functions on an irreducible smooth aﬃne variety over the Lie algebra of vector fields is studied. Examples of Lie algebras of polynomial vector fields on an N…

The notion of commutator width of a group, defined as the smallest number of commutators needed to represent each element of the derived group as their product, has been extensively studied over the
Submanifold Algebras.
We review the notion of submanifold algebra, as introduced by T. Masson, and discuss some properties and examples. A submanifold algebra of an associative algebra A is a quotient algebra B such that
