Abstract A double algebra is a linear space V equipped with linear map V ⊗ V → V ⊗ V . Additional conditions on this map lead to the notions of Lie and associative double algebras. We prove that simple finite-dimensional Lie double algebras do not exist over an arbitrary field, and all simple finite-dimensional associative double algebras over an algebraically closed field are trivial. Over an arbitrary field, every simple finite-dimensional associative double algebra is commutative. A double algebra structure on a finite-dimensional space V is naturally described by a linear operator R on the algebra End  V of linear transformations of V . Double Lie algebras correspond in this sense to skew-symmetric Rota–Baxter operators, double associative algebra structures – to (left) averaging operators.
