Schwarzian derivative related to modules of differential operators on a locally projective manifold

S. Bouarroudj, V. Ovsienko (2000)

Banach Center Publications

We introduce a 1-cocycle on the group of diffeomorphisms Diff(M) of a smooth manifold M endowed with a projective connection. This cocycle represents a nontrivial cohomology class of Diff(M) related to the Diff(M)-modules of second order linear differential operators on M. In the one-dimensional case, this cocycle coincides with the Schwarzian derivative, while, in the multi-dimensional case, it represents its natural and new generalization. This work is a continuation of [3] where the same problems...

Semi-infinite cohomology and superconformal algebras

Elena Poletaeva (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We describe representations of certain superconformal algebras in the semi-infinite Weil complex related to the loop algebra of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra and in the semi-infinite cohomology. We show that in the case where the Lie algebra is endowed with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form, the relative semi-infinite cohomology of the loop algebra has a structure, which is analogous to the classical structure of the de Rham cohomology in Kähler...

Spectral sequences for commutative Lie algebras

Friedrich Wagemann (2020)

Communications in Mathematics

We construct some spectral sequences as tools for computing commutative cohomology of commutative Lie algebras in characteristic 2 . In a first part, we focus on a Hochschild-Serre-type spectral sequence, while in a second part we obtain spectral sequences which compare Chevalley-Eilenberg-, commutative- and Leibniz cohomology. These methods are illustrated by a few computations.
