The second Lie algebra cohomology group and Weyl modules

On a Reductive Lie Algebra and Weyl Group Representations

Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space, and let G be a subgroup of GL( V). Set D( V) equal to the algebra of differential operators on V with polynomial coefficients and D( V) G equal to the G invariants in D( V). If 9 is a reductive Lie algebra over C then ~ egis a Cartan subgroup of g, and if G is the adjoint group of 9 then W is the Weyl group of (g, ~) , Harish-Chandra introduced an alg...

Lie algebra cohomology and group structure of gauge theories

We explicitly construct the adjoint operator of coboundary operator and obtain the Hodge decomposition theorem and the Poincaré duality for the Lie algebra cohomology of the infinite-dimensional gauge transformation group. We show that the adjoint of the coboundary operator can be identified with the BRST adjoint generator Q for the Lie algebra cohomology induced by BRST generator Q. We also po...

Cyclic Cohomology of the Weyl Algebra

We give an explicit formula for sp2n-basic representatives of the cyclic cohomology of the Weyl algebra HC(A2n). This paper can be seen as cyclic addendum to the paper [6] by Feigin, Felder and Shoikhet, where the analogous Hochschild case was treated. As an application, we prove a generalization of a Theorem of Nest and Tsygan concerning the relation of the Todd class and the cyclic cohomology...

The Lie algebra cohomology of jets

Let g be a finite-dimensional complex reductive semi simple Lie algebra. We present a new calculation of the continuous cohomology of the Lie algebra zg[[z]]. In particular, we shall give an explicit formula for the Laplacian on the Lie algebra cochains, from which we can deduce that the cohomology in each dimension is a finite-dimensional representation of g which contains any irreducible repr...
