%0 Journal Article %T A solvability criterion for the Lie algebra of derivations of a fat point %A Mathias Schulze %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We consider the Lie algebra of derivations of a zero dimensional local complex algebra. We describe an inequality involving the embedding dimension, the order, and the first deviation that forces this Lie algebra to be solvable. Our result was motivated by and generalizes the solvability of the Yau algebra of an isolated hypersurface singularity. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.1471v1
