Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We discuss the cohomology of Lie algebras with general coefficients. First we introduce the cohomology via the explicit formula for the coboundary operator. We discuss the cohomology groups in low degrees and the classical interpretation of these cohomology groups, i.e., the interpretation via extension theory and crossed modules. Thereafter we introduce cohomology on a very general level via derived functors and categories. We will give some more details on abelian categories. Finally we discuss several applications of Lie algebra cohomology in the context of differential geometry and number theory. Furthermore we study the total cohomology and the relative Lie algebra cohomology.
