A Lie-Rinehart algebra in general relativity

We construct a Lie-Rinehart algebra over an infinitesimal extension of the space of initial value fields for Einstein's equations. The bracket relations in this algebra are precisely those of the…

Cohomology theories of various algebraic structures have been investigated by several authors. The most noteworthy are due to Hochschild, MacLane and Eckmann, Chevalley and Eilenberg, who developed…

Nonabelian holomorphic Lie algebroid extensions

We classify nonabelian extensions of Lie algebroids in the holomorphic category. Moreover we study a spectral sequence associated to any such extension. This spectral sequence generalizes the…

Lie-Rinehart algebras, . . .

A Lie-Rinehart algebra (A, L) consists of a commutative algebra A and a Lie algebra L with additional structure which generalizes the mutual structure of interaction between the algebra of smooth…

Lie-Rinehart algebras, descent, and quantization

A Lie-Rinehart algebra consists of a commutative algebra and a Lie algebra with additional structure which generalizes the mutual structure of interaction between the algebra of functions and the Lie…

Normality of algebras over commutative rings and the Teichmüller class. II.

Using a suitable notion of normal Galois extension of commutative rings, we develop the relative theory of the generalized Teichmüller cocycle map. We interpret the theory in terms of the Deuring…

Duality for base-changing morphisms of vector bundles, modules, Lie algebroids and Poisson structures

Abstract The main result of this paper is an extension to Poisson bundles [4] and Lie algebroids of the classical result that a linear map of Lie algebras is a morphism of Lie algebras if and only if…
