چکیده
In this dissertation, we investigate the cohomology theory of restricted Lie algebras. Motivations for the definition of a restricted Lie algebra are given and the theory of ordinary Lie algebra cohomology is briefly reviewed, including a discussion on algebraic interpretations of the low dimensional cohomology spaces of ordinary Lie algebras. The general Cartan-Eilenberg construction of the standard cochain complex is given for ordinary Lie algebras. The representation theory of restricted Lie algebras is reviewed including a description of the restricted universal enveloping algebra Ures.(g) of a restricted Lie algebra. In the case of an abelian restricted Lie algebra, we construct an augmented complex of free Ures.(g) modules that is exact in dimensions less than p and hence define the cohomology theory of these algebras in dimension less than p. Explicit formulas for the dimensions of the cochain spaces are given in the abelian case. In particular we show that the dimension of C(g) is the same as that of the symmetric algebra S(g). In the non-abelian case, we explicitly construct a cochain complex {C(g;M), δ} for any coefficient module M for k ≤ 3 and give explicit formulas for the coboundary operators in these dimensions. It is shown that classical and restricted cohomology do not differ at all in dimension zero and that the restricted cohomology space H(g;M) is canonically injected into the classical cohomology H cl.(g;M). A canonical map H (g;M)→ H cl.(g;M) is constructed and the kernel is investigated for specific coefficient modules. The corresponding notions of the usual algebraic interpretations of ordinary low dimensional cohomology are defined and we show that our restricted cohomology spaces encode this information as well. The dissertation concludes with some remarks on multiplicative structures in our complex as well as directions for further research.

متن کاملOn the Structure of Cohomology of Hamiltonian p-Algebras
We demonstrate advantages of non-standard grading for computing cohomology of restricted Hamiltonian and Poisson algebras. These algebras contain the inner grading element in the properly defined symmetric grading compatible with the symplectic structure. Using modulo p analog of the theorem on the structure of cohomology of Lie algebra with inner grading element, we show that all nontrivial co...
متن کاملTriple Cohomology of Lie–Rinehart Algebras and the Canonical Class of Associative Algebras
We introduce a bicomplex which computes the triple cohomology of Lie– Rinehart algebras. We prove that the triple cohomology is isomorphic to the Rinehart cohomology [13] provided the Lie–Rinehart algebra is projective over the corresponding commutative algebra. As an application we construct a canonical class in the third dimensional cohomology corresponding to an associative algebra.
متن کاملOn the Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Lie Algebras
The exterior algebra over the centre of a Lie algebra acts on the cohomology of the Lie algebra in a natural way. Focusing on nilpotent Lie algebras, we explore the module structure afforded by this action. We show that for all two-step nilpotent Lie algebras, this module structure is non-trivial, which partially answers a conjecture of Cairns and Jessup [4]. The presence of free submodules ind...
