In the paper one- and two-dimensional cohomology is compared for finite and infinite nilpotent Lie algebras, with coefficients in the adjoint representation. It turns out that, because the adjoint representation is not a highest weight representation in infinite dimension, the considered cohomology

The Ricci tensor has been computed in several infinite dimensional situations. In this work, we shall be interested in the case of the central extension of loop groups and in the asymptotic behaviour of the Ricci tensor on free loop groups as the Riemannian metric varies. ## 1999 Academic Press [h
In this note, we show explicitly how to obtain the structure of a Lie bialgebra on the Virasoro algebra (with or without a central extension), on the Witt algebra, and on many other Lie algebras. Previously, V. G. Drinfel'd (in a fundamental paper (1983, Soviet Math. Dokl. 27, No. 1, 68-71)), introd
We study the exponential growth of the codimensions c L of a finite-dimenn sional Lie algebra L over a field of characteristic zero. We show that if the n solvable radical of L is nilpotent then lim c L exists and is an integer.
