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 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
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
Let R be a commutative algebra over a field k. We prove two related results on the simplicity of Lie algebras acting as derivations of R. If D is both a Lie subalgebra and R-submodule of Der k R such that R is D-simple and either char k = 2 or D is not cyclic as an R-module or D R = R, then we show
