Abstract

Let MM be a smooth manifold, S\cal S the space of polynomial on fibers functions on TMT^*M (i.e., of symmetric contravariant tensor fields). We compute the first cohomology space of the Lie algebra, Vect(M)Vect(M), of vector fields on MM with coefficients in the space of linear differential operators on S\cal S. This cohomology space is closely related to the Vect(M)Vect(M)-modules, Dλ(M){\cal D}_\lambda(M), of linear differential operators on the space of tensor densities on MM of degree λ\lambda.
