Lie-Rinehart algebras, Gerstenhaber algebras and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras

Johannes Huebschmann (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

For any Lie-Rinehart algebra ( A , L ) , B(atalin)-V(ilkovisky) algebra structures on the exterior A -algebra Λ A L correspond bijectively to right ( A , L ) -module structures on A ; likewise, generators for the Gerstenhaber algebra Λ A L correspond bijectively to right ( A , L ) -connections on A . When L is projective as an A -module, given a B-V algebra structure on Λ A L , the homology of the B-V algebra ( Λ A L , ) coincides with the homology of L with coefficients in A with reference to the right ( A , L ) -module structure determined by . When...

Nondegenerate cohomology pairing for transitive Lie algebroids, characterization

Jan Kubarski, Alexandr Mishchenko (2004)

Open Mathematics

The Evens-Lu-Weinstein representation (Q A, D) for a Lie algebroid A on a manifold M is studied in the transitive case. To consider at the same time non-oriented manifolds as well, this representation is slightly modified to (Q Aor, Dor) by tensoring by orientation flat line bundle, Q Aor=QA⊗or (M) and D or=D⊗∂Aor. It is shown that the induced cohomology pairing is nondegenerate and that the representation (Q Aor, Dor) is the unique (up to isomorphy) line representation for which the top group of...

Non-degenerescence of some spectral sequences

K. S. Sarkaria (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Each Lie algebra of vector fields (e.g. those which are tangent to a foliation) of a smooth manifold M définies, in a natural way, a spectral sequence E k ( ) which converges to the de Rham cohomology of M in a finite number of steps. We prove e.g. that for all k 0 there exists a foliated compact manifold with E k ( ) infinite dimensional.

On a new normalization for tractor covariant derivatives

Matthias Hammerl, Petr Somberg, Vladimír Souček, Josef Šilhan (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A regular normal parabolic geometry of type G / P on a manifold M gives rise to sequences D i of invariant differential operators, known as the curved version of the BGG resolution. These sequences are constructed from the normal covariant derivative ω on the corresponding tractor bundle V , where ω is the normal Cartan connection. The first operator D 0 in the sequence is overdetermined and it is well known that ω yields the prolongation of this operator in the homogeneous case M = G / P . Our first main result...

On the cohomology of vector fields on parallelizable manifolds

Yuly Billig, Karl-Hermann Neeb (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In the present paper we determine for each parallelizable smooth compact manifold M the second cohomology spaces of the Lie algebra 𝒱 M of smooth vector fields on M with values in the module Ω ¯ M p = Ω M p / d Ω M p - 1 . The case of p = 1 is of particular interest since the gauge algebra of functions on M with values in a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra has the universal central extension with center Ω ¯ M 1 , generalizing affine Kac-Moody algebras. The second cohomology H 2 ( 𝒱 M , Ω ¯ M 1 ) classifies twists of the semidirect product of 𝒱 M with the...
