| Abstract: | A Lie subalgebra L of glk(V) is said to be finitary if it consists of elements of finite rank. We show that every simple finitary Lie algebra over a field of characteristic ≠2, 3, 5, 7 has a local system consisting of perfect central extensions of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. |
