On homology of Lie algebras over commutative rings

K-Theory and Homology 2022-01-19 v6

Abstract

We study five different types of the homology of a Lie algebra over a commutative ring which are naturally isomorphic over fields. We show that they are not isomorphic over commutative rings, even over Z,\mathbb Z, and study connections between them. In particular, we show that they are naturally isomorphic in the case of a Lie algebra which is flat as a module. As an auxiliary result we prove that the Koszul complex of a module MM over a principal ideal domain that connects the exterior and the symmetric powers 0ΛnMMΛn1MSn1MMSnM00\to \Lambda^n M\to M \otimes \Lambda^{n-1} M \to \dots \to S^{n-1}M \otimes M \to S^nM\to 0 is purely acyclic.
