In this paper we give some results on the extensions of Lie algebras, with emphasis on the case of prime characteristic, although part of the paper is also of interest at characteristic 0. An extension of a Lie algebra L is a pair (E, π), where £ is a Lie algebra and π is a homomorphism of E onto L. The kernel K of the extension is ker π.
