Abstract
For a smooth manifold equipped with a volume form, let be the Lie algebra of volume preserving smooth vector fields on . A. Lichnerowicz proved that the abelianization of is a finite-dimensional vector space, and that its dimension depends only on the topology of . In this paper we provide analogous results for some classical examples of non-singular complex affine algebraic varieties that admit a nowhere-zero algebraic form of top degree (which plays the role of a volume form).
