Results on derivations and automorphisms of some quantum and classical Poisson algebras, as well as characterizations of manifolds by the Lie structure of such algebras, are revisited and extended. We prove in particular a somewhat unexpected fact that the algebras of linear differential operators acting on smooth sections of two real vector bundles of rank 1 are isomorphic as Lie algebras if and only if the base manifolds are diffeomorphic, whether or not the line bundles themselves are isomorphic....

We study the properties of the group Aut(D) of all biholomorphic transformations of a bounded circular domain D in ${ℂ}^n$ containing the origin. We characterize the set of all possible roots for the Lie algebra of Aut(D). There exists an n-element set P such that any root is of the form α or -α or α-β for suitable α,β ∈ P.

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 $\overline{\Omega }{}_M^p={\Omega }_M^p/d{\Omega }_M^{p-1}$. 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 ${\overline{\Omega }}_M^1$, generalizing affine Kac-Moody algebras. The second cohomology $H^2({𝒱}_M,{\overline{\Omega }}_M^1)$ classifies twists of the semidirect product of ${𝒱}_M$ with the...

En este artículo se considera un marco general para la precuantización geométrica de una variedad provista de un corchete que no es necesariamente de Jacobi. La existencia de una foliación generalizada permite definir una noción de fibrado de precuantización. Se estudia una aproximación alternativa suponiendo la existencia de un algebroide de Lie sobre la variedad. Se relacionan ambos enfoques y se recuperan los resultados conocidos para variedades de Poisson y Jacobi.
