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

โฆ Synopsis
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.

Following S. Freed [Fr], the associated curvature form is not of the trace class but its two-step trace does exist. More precisely, let e 1 , ..., e d be

We construct here several classes of simple Lie algebras of characteristic ลฝ . 0 which include the Virasoro algebra without central charge and the graded Lie algebras of Cartan type. Our construction is motivated by our w x recent construction of simple locally Novikov algebras in 5 . Our simple Li
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.
Lie triple system T over a field F of characteristic zero. It turns out that it contains nontrivial elements if and only if T is related to a simple Jordan algebra. In particular this provides a new proof of the determination by Laquer of the invariant affine connections in the simply connected com
In our previous work (math/0008128), we studied the set Quant(K) of all universal quantization functors of Lie bialgebras over a field K of characteristic zero, compatible with the operations of taking duals and doubles. We showed that Quant ), where G 0 (K) is a universal group and Q Q(K) is a quot
