Abstract

Let G be an exceptional simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let g be the Lie algebra of G. Suppose further that p is a good prime for the root system of G. In this paper we classify all maximal Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra g. This extends classical results of Dynkin from 1950s to simple Lie algebras over fields of positive characteristics.
