How to define (and compute) the Cartan-Killing form of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms?
This question was raised a while ago in a blog post by Terry Tao on the Euler-Arnold equation and he called it "quite tricky".
Has anyone in the meantime tried to formulate this question precisely, ...
