[Abstract-pdf]
\def\g{{\frak g}}\def\h{{\frak h}} It is well known that the maximal subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra $\g$ are certain semisimple subalgebras and the maximal parabolic subalgebras. This paper provides a classification of subalgebras $\h\subset\g$ such that every subalgebra strictly containing $\h$ is horospherical, i.e., contains a maximal unipotent subalgebra of $\g$.
Keywords: Lie algebras, parabolic induction.
