New algebraic structures called cyclic Lie-Rinehart algebras are defined.

Introduces new algebraic structures and their cohomology.

We extend the classical characterization of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra g in terms of its Maurer-Cartan algebra-the familiar differential graded algebra of alternating forms on g with values in the ground field, endowed with the standard Lie algebra cohomology operator-to sh Lie-Rinehart algebras. To this end, we …

New Lie-group methods preserve geometric divergence-free features on manifolds.

We review the extent to which the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie-Rinehart algebra resembles a Hopf algebra, and refer to this structure as a Rinehart bialgebra. We then prove a Cartier-Milnor-Moore type theorem for such Rinehart bialgebras.

New framework for noncommutative Carrollian geometry using Lie-Rinehart pairs.

Introduces $θ$-almost twisted Poisson structures and their cohomology.

Study sheaves of Lie-Rinehart algebras and their morphisms, generalizing Lie algebroid concepts.

The paper extends a theorem to Lie-Rinehart algebras and provides new decompositions of universal enveloping algebras.

We introduce a notion of duality for a Lie-Rinehart algebra giving certain bilinear pairings in its cohomology generalizing the usual notions of Poincaré duality in Lie algebra cohomology and de Rham cohomology. We show that the duality isomorphisms can be given by a cap product with a suitable fundamental class and he…

We define an n-plectic structure as a commutative and torsionless Lie Rinehart pair, together with a distinguished cocycle from its Chevalley-Eilenberg complex. This 'n-plectic cocycle' gives rise to an extension of the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex by so called symplectic tensors. The cohomology of this extension genera…

Let Q denote a smooth manifold acted upon smoothly by a Lie group G. The G-action lifts to an action on the total space T of the cotangent bundle of Q and hence on the standard symplectic Poisson algebra of smooth functions on T. The Poisson algebra of G-invariant functions on T yields a Poisson structure on the space …

A Chern-Weil construction for extensions of Lie-Rinehart algebras is introduced. This generalizes the classical Chern-Weil construction in differential geometry and yields characteristic classes for arbitrary extensions of Lie-Rinehart algebras. Some examples arising from spaces with singularities and from foliations a…

Abstract sketches historical development of Lie brackets, crossed modules, and Lie-Rinehart algebras.

Constructs Lie-Rinehart algebra for Einstein's equations.

We introduce a bicomplex which computes the triple cohomology of Lie--Rinehart algebras. We prove that the triple cohomology is isomorphic to the Rinehart cohomology \cite{Ri} provided the Lie--Rinehart algebra is projective over the corresponding commutative algebra. As an application we construct a canonical class in…

Lie-Rinehart algebras over $C^\infty$-rings defined and studied.

We generalize the Schouten calculus of multivector fields to commutative Lie Rinehart pairs and define a non negatively graded Lie oo-algebra on their exterior power.

Abstract: Tangent categories get a Cartan calculus with scalar multiplication by a commutative ring.

Study non-integer power-law potentials for Schrödinger operators using Lie-Rinehart algebras.

We give examples of Lie-Rinehart algebras whose enveloping algebra is not a full Hopf algebroid in the sense of Bohm and Szlachanyi. We construct these examples as quotients of a canonical Lie-Rinehart algebra over a Jacobi algebra which does admit an antipode.

Introduces $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras and their extensions.

Constructs a new graded variety from algebraic data.

An involutive distribution $C$ on a smooth manifold $M$ is a Lie-algebroid acting on sections of the normal bundle $TM/C$. It is known that the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex associated to this representation of $C$ possesses the structure $\mathbb{X}$ of a strong homotopy Lie-Rinehart algebra. It is natural to interpret …

Twilled L(ie-)R(inehart)-algebras generalize, in the Lie-Rinehart context, complex structures on smooth manifolds. An almost complex manifold determines an "almost twilled pre-LR algebra", which is a true twilled LR-algebra iff the almost complex structure is integrable. We characterize twilled LR structures in terms o…

New formal groupoid scheme emerges from Lie algebroid sections.

For a Lie-Rinehart algebra (A,L), generators for the Gerstenhaber algebra Λ_A L correspond bijectively to right (A,L)-connections on A in such a way that B-V structures correspond to right (A,L)-module structures on A. When L is projective as an A-module, given an exact generator \partial, the homology of the B-V algeb…

Twilled L(ie)-R(inehart) algebas generalize, in the Lie-Rinehart context, complex structures on smooth manifolds. An almost complex manifold determines an almost twilled pre-LR algebra, which is a true twilled LR-algebra iff the almost complex structure is integrable. We characterize twilled LR-structures in terms of c…

For a Lie-Rinehart algebra (A,L) such that, as an A-module, L is finitely generated and projective of finite constant rank, the relationship between generators of the Gerstenhaber bracket and connections on the highest A-exterior power of L given in an earlier paper arises from the canonical pairing between the exterio…

New representations of Lie algebras via monoidal category actions.

Using the language and terminology of relative homological algebra, in particular that of derived functors, we introduce equivariant cohomology over a general Lie-Rinehart algebra and equivariant de Rham cohomology over a locally trivial Lie groupoid in terms of suitably defined monads (also known as triples) and the a…

Develops connections and curvature concepts for non-smooth spaces.

Higher homotopy generalizations of Lie-Rinehart algebras, Gerstenhaber-, and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras are explored. These are defined in terms of various antisymmetric bilinear operations satisfying weakened versions of the Jacobi identity, as well as in terms of operations involving more than two variables of the L…

The paper constructs a Saito basis for a specific class of divisors and applies it to logarithmic Poisson geometry.

It is well known that a foliation F of a smooth manifold M gives rise to a rich cohomological theory, its characteristic (i.e., leafwise) cohomology. Characteristic cohomologies of F may be interpreted, to some extent, as functions on the space P of integral manifolds (of any dimension) of the characteristic distributi…

We formalize the construction by Batalin and Vilkovisky of a solution of the classical master equation associated with a regular function on a nonsingular affine variety (the classical action). We introduce the notion of stable equivalence of solutions and prove that a solution exists and is unique up to stable equival…

Study cohomology of Lie algebroids over algebraic spaces using derived functors and Čech cohomology.

For a stratified symplectic space, a suitable concept of stratified Kaehler polarization, defined in terms of an appropriate Lie-Rinehart algebra, encapsulates Kaehler polarizations on the strata and the behaviour of the polarizations across the strata and leads to the notion of stratified Kaehler space. This notion es…

Introduces a new characteristic class for vector bundles with a connection.

A new category of Lie algebras, called generalized Lie algebras, is presented such that classical Lie algebras and Lie-Rinehart algebras are objects of this new category. A new philosophy over generalized Lie algebroids theory is presented using the notion of generalized Lie algebra and examples of objects of the categ…
