Cohomology of solvable lie algebras and solvmanifolds

The cohomology H^* (G/,) of the de Rham complex *(G/) of a compact solvmanifold G/ with deformed differential d = d + , where is a closed 1 -form, is studied. Such cohomologies naturally arise in Morse-Novikov theory. It is shown that, for any completely solvable Lie group G containing a cocompact lattice G, the cohomology H^*(G/, ) is isomorphic to the cohomology H^*( ) of the tangent Lie algebra of the group G with coefficients in the one-dimensional representation : defined by () = (). Moreover, the cohomology H ^*(G/,) is nontrivial if and only if -[] belongs to a finite subset of H ¹(G/,) defined in terms of the Lie algebra .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 1, 2005, pp. 67–79.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by D.

Cohomology of graded lie algebras of maximal class with coefficients in the adjoint representation

We compute explicitly the adjoint cohomology of two ℕ-graded Lie algebras of maximal class (infinite-dimensional filiform Lie algebras) m₀ and m₂. It is known that up to an isomorphism there are only three ℕ-graded Lie algebras of maximal class. The third algebra from this list is the “positive” part L ₁ of the Witt (or Virasoro) algebra, and its adjoint cohomology was computed earlier by Feigin and Fuchs.

Hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids

Hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids unify holomorphic symplectic structures and usual hypercomplex structures. In this Note, we prove the equivalence of two characterizations of hypercomplex structures on Courant algebroids, one in terms of Nijenhuis concomitants and the other in terms of (almost) torsionfree connections for which each of the three complex structures is parallel.

Riemannian geometry of Lie algebroids

We introduce Riemannian Lie algebroids as a generalization of Riemannian manifolds and we show that most of the classical tools and results known in Riemannian geometry can be stated in this setting. We give also some new results on the integrability of Riemannian Lie algebroids.     

Modular classes of Loday algebroids

We introduce the concept of Loday algebroids, a generalization of Courant algebroids. We define the naive cohomology and modular class of a Loday algebroid, and we show that the modular class of the double of a Lie bialgebroid vanishes. For Courant algebroids, we describe the relation between the naive and standard cohomologies and we conjecture that they are isomorphic when the Courant algebroid is transitive.

Matched pairs of Courant algebroids

We introduce the notion of matched pairs of Courant algebroids and give several examples arising naturally from complex manifolds, holomorphic Courant algebroids, and certain regular Courant algebroids. We also consider the matched sum of two Dirac subbundles, one in each of two Courant algebroids forming a matched pair.     

Integration of holomorphic Lie algebroids

We prove that a holomorphic Lie algebroid is integrable if and only if its underlying real Lie algebroid is integrable. Thus the integrability criteria of Crainic–Fernandes (Theorem 4.1 in Crainic, Fernandes in Ann Math 2:157, 2003) do also apply in the holomorphic context without any modification. As a consequence we prove that a holomorphic Poisson manifold is integrable if and only if its real part or imaginary part is integrable as a real Poisson manifold.     

Relative Cohomology and Generalized Tate Cohomology

We compare relative cohomology theories arising from using different proper resolutions of modules. Criteria for the vanishing of such distinctions are given in certain cases, and we show that this is related to the generalized Tate cohomology theory. We also demonstrate that the two balance properties admitted by the two different cohomology theories are actually equivalent in some cases. As applications, we recover many results obtained earlier in various contexts. At last we investigate derived functors with respect to the Auslander and Bass classes.     

Tannaka-Krein duality for Hopf algebroids

We show that a Hopf algebroid can be reconstructed from a monoidal functor from a monoidal category into the category of rigid bimodules over a ring. We study the equivalence between the original category and the category of comodules over the reconstructed Hopf algebroid.     

Galois theory for Hopf algebroids

An extensionB⊂A of algebras over a commutative ringk is anH-extension for anL-bialgebroidH ifA is anH-comodule algebra andB is the subalgebra of its coinvariants. It isH-Galois if the canonical mapA ⊗_B A →A ⊗_L H is an isomorphism or, equivalently, if the canonical coringA ⊗_L H:A is a Galois coring. In the case of Hopf algebroid anyH _R-extension is shown to be also anH _L-extension. If the antipode is bijective then also the notions ofH _R-Galois extensions and ofH _L-Galois extensions are proven to coincide. Results about bijective entwining structures are extended to entwining structures over non-commutative algebras in order to prove a Kreimer-Takeuchi type theorem for a finitely generated projective Hopf algebroidH with bijective antipode. It states that anyH-Galois extensionB⊂A is projective, and ifA isk-flat then already the surjectivity of the canonical map implies the Galois property. The Morita theory, developed for corings by Caenepeel, Vercruysse and Wang is applied to obtain equivalent criteria for the Galois property of Hopf algebroid extensions. This leads to Hopf algebroid analogues of results for Hopf algebra, extensions by Doi and, in the case of Frobenius Hopf algebroids, by Cohen, Fishman and Montgomery.

Sunto Un'estensioneB(A di algebre su un anello commutativok è unaH-estensione per unL-bialgebroideH seA è unaH-comodulo algebra eB è la sottoalgebra dei suoi coinvarianti. Essa èH-Galois se l'applicazione canonicaA ⊗_A B→A ⊗_L H è un isomorfismo o, equivalentemente, se il coanello canonicoA ⊗_L H:A è un coanello di Galois. Nel caso di un algebroide di Hopf si dimostra che ogniH _R-estensione è unaH _L-estensione. Se l'antipode è biiettivo allora si dimostra che anche le nozioni di estensioniH _R-Galois eH _L-Galois coincidono. I risultati per le strutture biiettive entwining sono estesi alle strutture entwining su algebre non commutative, al fine di dimostrare un teorema simile al Teorema dii Kreimer-Takeuchi per un Hopf algebroideH proiettivo finitamento generato con antipode biiettivo. Il teorema afferma che ogni estensioneH-GaloisB ⊂A è proiettiva e seA èk-piatto allora la suriettività dell'applicazione canonica è sufficiente a garantire la proprietà di Galois. La teoria di Morita, sviluppata per i coanelli da Caenepeel, Vercruysse e Wang, viene applicata per ottenere criteri equivalenti per la proprietà di Galois per estensioni di algebroidi di Hopf. Questo conduce a risultati analoghi, per algebroidi di Hopf, a quelli ottenuti da Doi per estensioni di algebre di Hopf e da Cohen Fishman e Montgomery nel caso degli algebroidi di Hopf Frobenius.

     

Generalized gradients on Lie algebroids

Generalized $O\!\left( n\right) $ -gradients for connections on Lie algebroids are derived.     

Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids

We study Nijenhuis structures on Courant algebroids in terms of the canonical Poisson bracket on their symplectic realizations. We prove that the Nijenhuis torsion of a skew-symmetric endomorphism N of a Courant algebroid is skewsymmetric if N ² is proportional to the identity, and only in this case when the Courant algebroid is irreducible. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a skewsymmetric endomorphism to give rise to a deformed Courant structure. In the case of the double of a Lie bialgebroid (A, A*), given an endomorphism N of A that defines a skew-symmetric endomorphism N of the double of A, we prove that the torsion ofN is the sum of the torsion of N and that of the transpose of N.     

Last multipliers on Lie algebroids

In this paper we extend the theory of last multipliers as solutions of the Liouville’s transport equation to Lie algebroids with their top exterior power as trivial line bundle (previously developed for vector fields and multivectors). We define the notion of exact section and the Liouville equation on Lie algebroids. The aim of the present work is to develop the theory of this extension from the tangent bundle algebroid to a general Lie algebroid (e.g. the set of sections with a prescribed last multiplier is still a Gerstenhaber subalgebra). We present some characterizations of this extension in terms of Witten and Marsden differentials.     

On geometrically transitive Hopf algebroids

This paper contributes to the characterization of a certain class of commutative Hopf algebroids. It is shown that a commutative flat Hopf algebroid with a non zero base ring and a nonempty character groupoid is geometrically transitive if and only if any base change morphism is a weak equivalence (in particular, if any extension of the base ring is Landweber exact), if and only if any trivial bundle is a principal bi-bundle, and if and only if any two objects are fpqc locally isomorphic. As a consequence, any two isotropy Hopf algebras of a geometrically transitive Hopf algebroid (as above) are weakly equivalent. Furthermore, the character groupoid is transitive and any two isotropy Hopf algebras are conjugated. Several other characterizations of these Hopf algebroids in relation to transitive groupoids are also given.     

On higher analogues of Courant algebroids

In this paper, we study the algebraic properties of the higher analogues of Courant algebroid structures on the direct sum bundle TM ⊕∧nT*M for an m-dimensional manifold. As an application, we revisit Nambu-Poisson structures and multisymplectic structures. We prove that the graph of an (n + 1)-vector field π is closed under the higher-order Dorfman bracket iff π is a Nambu-Poisson structure. Consequently, there is an induced Leibniz algebroid structure on ∧nT*M. The graph of an (n+1)-form ω is closed under...
