Some properties of Camina and $n$-Baer Lie algebras by Maryam Ghezelsoflo, Mohammad Reza Moghaddam, Mohammad Amin Rostamyari, Somayeh Saffarnia

“…Also, a new notion of $n$-Baer Lie algebras is introduced, and we investigate some of its properties, for $n=1, 2$. A Lie algebra $L$ is said to be $2$-Baer if for any one dimensional subalgebra $K$ of $L$, there exists an ideal $I$ of $L$ such that $K$ is an ideal of $I$. …”
