Geometry of third order ODE systems

Alexandr Medvedev (2010)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We compute cohomology spaces of Lie algebras that describe differential invariants of third order ordinary differential equations. We prove that the algebra of all differential invariants is generated by 2 tensorial invariants of order 2, one invariant of order 3 and one invariant of order 4. The main computational tool is a Serre-Hochschild spectral sequence and the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras. We compute differential invariants up to degree 2 as application. ...

On the cohomology of vector fields on parallelizable manifolds

Yuly Billig, Karl-Hermann Neeb (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

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...

Dolbeault homotopy theory and compact nilmanifolds

L. Cordero, M. Fernández, A. Gray, L. Ugarte (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we study the degeneration of both the cohomology and the cohomotopy Frölicher spectral sequences in a special class of complex manifolds, namely the class of compact nilmanifolds endowed with a nilpotent complex structure. Whereas the cohomotopy spectral sequence is always degenerate for such a manifold, there exist many nilpotent complex structures on compact nilmanifolds for which the classical Frölicher spectral sequence does not collapse even at the second term. ...
