    All Stable Characteristic Classes of Homological Vector Fields

    Full text link
    An odd vector field QQ on a supermanifold MM is called homological, if Q2=0Q^2=0. The operator of Lie derivative LQL_Q makes the algebra of smooth tensor fields on MM into a differential tensor algebra. In this paper, we give a complete classification of certain invariants of homological vector fields called characteristic classes. These take values in the cohomology of the operator LQL_Q and are represented by QQ-invariant tensors made up of the homological vector field and a symmetric connection on MM by means of tensor operations.Comment: 17 pages, references and comments adde
