On the number of modular pairs in finite dimensional Lie algebras on finite fields

Given a finite dimensional Lie algebra $L$ on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ of prime power order $p^n$ (with $n$ positive integer and $p$ prime), we consider the number of modular pairs $(A,B)$ in the lattice of all subalgebras $\mathcal{L}(L)$ and introduce the notion of ``subalgebra commutativity degree'' of $L$. This represents the probability to find that two randomly chosen subalgebras $A$ and $B$ of $L$ are permutable. We investigate the subalgebra commutativity degree of $L$ in connection with recent techniques of algebraic combinatorics and number theory, providing upper and lower bounds which may influence the structure of $L$. A specific study for the subalgebra commutativity degree of Heisenberg algebras is executed.
