The main object of study of this paper is the notion of a LieDer pair, i.e. a Lie algebra with a derivation. We introduce the concept of a representation of a LieDer pair and study the corresponding cohomologies. We show that a LieDer pair…

In this paper, Lie super-bialgebra structures on a class of generalized super $W$-algebra $\mathfrak{L}$ are investigated. By proving the first cohomology group of $\mathfrak{L}$ with coefficients in its adjoint tensor module is trivial,…

We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field of prime characteristic. One can associate to G (or subgroups thereof) its Lie algebra, its Frobenius kernels, and the finite Chevalley group of points over a finite field. The…

In this paper, we consider a 3-Lie algebra with a derivation (called a 3-LieDer pair). We define cohomology for a 3-LieDer pair with coefficients in a representation. We use this cohomology to study deformations and abelian extensions of…

We give a characterization of conformal blocks in terms of the singular cohomology of suitable smooth projective varieties, in genus 0 for classical Lie algebras and $G_2$.

For each prime p, we exhibit pairs of p-groups all of whose integral cohomology groups are isomorphic. The method used involves very little calculation. The groups are exhibited as kernels of homomorphisms from a compact Lie group G to…

In this paper we study non-abelian extensions of a Lie group $G$ modeled on a locally convex space by a Lie group $N$. The equivalence classes of such extension are grouped into those corresponding to a class of so-called smooth outer…

We study the structure of the $E_2$-term of the Rothenberg-Steenrod spectral sequence converging to the mod 3 cohomology of the classifying space of the compact, connected, simply connected, exceptional Lie group of rank 6.

A morphism Lie algebra is a triple $(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{h}, \phi)$ consisting of two Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{h}$ and a Lie algebra homomorphism $\phi : \mathfrak{g} \rightarrow \mathfrak{h}$. We define representations and…

We obtain formulas for the first and second cohomology groups of a general current Lie algebra with coefficients in the "current" module, and apply them to compute structure functions for manifolds of loops with values in compact Hermitian…

In this paper, we introduce the notions of crossed module of associative conformal algebras, 2-term strongly homotopy associative conformal algebras, and discuss the relationship between them and the 3-th Hochschild cohomology of…

We find crossed modules, i.e. certain 4 term exact sequences, associated to the Godbillon-Vey class for W_1, Vect(S^1), Vect_{1,0}(\Sigma) and Hol(\Sigma_r), i.e. for the Lie algebras of formal vector fields in 1 variable, vector fields on…

Building upon the work of Pavel in [P. Kolesnikov, Journal of Mathematical Physics, 56, 7 (2015)], we first present the cohomology of averaging operators on the Lie conformal algebras and use it to develop the cohomology of averaging Lie…

We first prove that, for any generalized Hamiltonian type Lie algebra $L$, the first cohomology group $H^1(L,L \otimes L)$ is trivial. We then show that all Lie bialgebra structures on $L$ are triangular.

Computation of homology or cohomology is intrinsically a problem of high combinatorial complexity. Recently we proposed a new efficient algorithm for computing cohomologies of Lie algebras and superalgebras. This algorithm is based on…

The paper deals with the cohomological invariants of smooth and connected linear algebraic groups over an arbitrary field. More precisely, we study degree $2$ invariants with coefficients $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}(1)$, that is invariants…

A VB-groupoid is a Lie groupoid equipped with a compatible linear structure. In this paper, we describe a correspondence, up to isomorphism, between VB-groupoids and 2-term representations up to homotopy of Lie groupoids. Under this…

We compare three different ways of defining group cohomology with coefficients in a crossed-module: 1) explicit approach via cocycles; 2) geometric approach via gerbes; 3) group theoretic approach via butterflies. We discuss the case where…

We propose an explicit relation between the cohomology of compactified and noncompactified moduli spaces of algebraic curves with punctures. This relationship generalizes one between commutative algebras and Lie algebras proposed by Lazard,…
