Lie algebras are algebraic structures which were introduced to study the concept of infinitesimal transformations. The term "Lie algebra" (after Sophus Lie) was introduced by Hermann Weyl in the 1930s. In older texts, the name "infinitesimal group" is used. Related mathematical concepts include Lie groups and differentiable manifolds.

How should one understand shifted Lie algebras, like $T_X[-1]$?

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety, $at(E) \in Ext^1(E, E \otimes T)$ the Atiyah class of a complex $E \in D(Coh X)$ (see Markaryan, $\S$1.1-1.2). Then $at(\Omega[1])$ gives a "shifted Lie algebra" on $ …

Is this sequence of Lie algebra cohomology a part of spectral sequence?

There is an exact sequence $$0 \to H^2(\mathfrak{g}, k) \to H^1(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{g}^*) \to H^0(\mathfrak{g}, S^2\mathfrak{g}) \xrightarrow{d} H^3(\mathfrak{g}, k) \to H^2(\mathfrak{g}, \mathf …

If Lie algebra cohomology $H^2(g, M)=Ext^2_{U(g)}(k, M)$ classify $M$-extensions of $g$, are...

If $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Lie algebra and $M$ is an abelian $\mathfrak{g}$-module, then Lie algebra cohomology $H^2(\mathfrak{g}, M)=Ext^2_{U(\mathfrak{g})}(k, M)$ classify (abelian) extensions of $\math …
