Computation of Cohomology of Lie Algebra of Hamiltonian Vector Fields
by Splitting Cochain Complex into Minimal Subcomplexes
Vladimir V. Kornyak
Abstract.
Computation of homology or cohomology is intrinsically a problem of high combinatorial
complexity.
Recently we proposed a new efficient algorithm for
computing cohomologies of Lie algebras and superalgebras. This
algorithm is based on partition of the full cochain complex into
minimal subcomplexes. The algorithm was implemented as a C
program LieCohomology. In this paper we present results of applying the program
LieCohomology to the algebra of hamiltonian vector fields $\mathrm{H}(2|0)$. We
demonstrate that the new approach is much more efficient comparing
with the straightforward one. In particular, our computation reveals some new
cohomological classes for the algebra $\mathrm{H}(2|0)$ (and also for the Poisson algebra $\mathrm{Po}(2|0)$).
