Abstract

We prove that for a vector bundle EM E \to M, the Lie algebra DE(E)\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{E}}(E) generated by all differential operators on EE which are eigenvectors of LE,L_{\mathcal{E}}, the Lie derivative in the direction of the Euler vector field of E,E, and the Lie algebra DG(E)\mathcal{D}_G(E) obtained by Grothendieck construction over the R\mathbb{R}-algebra A(E):=Pol(E)\mathcal{A}(E):= {\rm Pol}(E) of fiberwise polynomial functions, coincide up an isomorphism. This allows us to compute all the derivations of the R\mathbb{R}-algebra A(E)\mathcal{A}(E) and to obtain an explicit description of the Lie algebra of zero-weight derivations of A(E).\mathcal{A}(E).
