Second cohomology group of the contact Lie algebra $K_3$

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero and, for all $n>0$, consider the contact Lie algebra $K_{2n+1}$. It follows from Corollary 3 of the paper [V. Guillemin - S. Shnider: Some stable results ...

Schur multiplier of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras in positive characteristic

The Schur multipliers of finite simple groups are known and easily accessible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_finite_simple_groups Moreover, as a consequence of the second Whitehead's Lemma, if ...

Twisting an L_{\infty} module quasi-isomorphism with a sufficiently small Maurer-Cartan element

I was wondering if someone could help me understand this result, or point me towards a reference. Suppose that $M$ and $N$ are $L_{\infty}$ modules over a dgla $L$. Suppose that $\phi: M \rightarrow N$...

Lie algebra "semi" coinvariants

In the process of my research, I've come across the need to understand the following construction: Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a (finite-dimensional) complex Lie algebra, $\beta\in \mathfrak{g}^*$ a Lie ...

Free resolutions of universal enveloping algebras for simple, finite dimensional Lie algebras

I'm currently studying Anick's resolution on the context of universal enveloping algebras for certain Lie algebras, namely some of the smallest cases: $A_1,A_2,A_3,B_2,G_2$, and so on. What are some ...

Lie algebra cohomology: $H^i(R,V)=H^i(R,V^R)$ with $R$ reductive and $V$ an $R$-module

Let $R$ be a reductive, finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0, and let $V$ be a semisimple $R$-module (also finite dimensional). I have seen a reference to the fact that $H^i(...

Poincaré duality for (co)homology of Lie algebras?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie $R$-algebra that has an $R$-module basis with $n$ elements. In Algebra, Geometry, and Software Systems by Joswig & Takayama on p.200, it ...
