This paper is concerned with the structure of the derivation algebra Der L of the Lie algebra L with split Cartan subalgebra H. The Fitting decomposition

of Der L with respect to ad ad H leads to a decomposition

where

This decomposition is studied in detail in Section 2, where the centralizer of ad L∞ in D 0(H) is shown to be

which is Hom(L/L 2, Center L) when H is Abelian. When the root-spaces La (a nonzero) are one-dimensional, this leads to the decomposition of Der L as

where T is any maximal torus of D 0(H).
