Deformations of Lie Brackets: Cohomological Aspects
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a new cohomology for Lie algebroids, and prove that it provides a differential graded Lie algebra which “controls” deformations of the structure bracket of the algebroid.

Higher Derived Brackets and Deformation Theory
The existing constructions of derived Lie and sh-Lie brackets involve multilinear maps that are used to define higher order differential operators. In this paper, we prove the equivalence of three different definitions of higher order operators. We then introduce a unifying theme for building derived brackets and show that two prevalent derived Lie bracket constructions are equivalent. Two basi...
متن کاملChain extensions of D-algebras and their applications
In order to unify the methods which have been applied to various topics such as BRST theory of constraints, Poisson brackets of local functionals, and certain developments in deformation theory, we formulate a new concept which we call the chain extension of a D-algebra. We develop those aspects of this new idea which are central to applications to algebra and physics. Chain extensions may be r...
متن کاملConstruction of Miniversal Deformations of Lie Algebras
In this paper we consider deformations of finite or infinite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic 0. By “deformations of a Lie algebra” we mean the (affine algebraic) manifold of all Lie brackets. Consider the quotient of this variety by the action of the group GL. It is well-known (see [Hart]) that in the category of algebraic varieties the quotient by a group action does no...
متن کاملCoalgebraic Approach to the Loday Infinity Category, Stem Differential for 2n-ary Graded and Homotopy Algebras
We define a graded twisted-coassociative coproduct on the tensor algebra TW of any Zn-graded vector space W . If W is the desuspension space ↓V of a graded vector space V , the coderivations (resp. quadratic “degree 1” codifferentials, arbitrary odd codifferentials) of this coalgebra are 1to-1 with sequences πs, s ≥ 1, of s-linear maps on V (resp. Zn-graded Loday structures on V , sequences tha...
متن کاملGerstenhaber Brackets for Skew Group Algebras
Hochschild cohomology governs deformations of algebras, and its graded Lie structure plays a vital role. We study this structure for the Hochschild cohomology of the skew group algebra formed by a finite group acting on an algebra by automorphisms. We examine the Gerstenhaber bracket with a view toward deformations and developing bracket formulas. We then focus on the linear group actions and p...
