Finite-dimensional Lie algebras of polynomial vector fields on Rn, that contain the elements ∂/∂xi and xi(∂/∂xi) for i=1...n were studied. To any Lie algebra @FL of this class, an N-valued n×n matrix A and a set of special elements S⊆{1,...,n} are associated. It is proven that the pair (A,S) necessarily satisfies two properties. Conversely, to any pair (A,S) satisfying those two properties is associated a Lie algebra @FL(A,S), such that @FL(A,S) is maximal in the class of all @FL with matrix A and special elements S. For the Lie algebras @FL(A,S) the possible extensions to first order differential operators, and its modules of C∞ functions are discussed. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
