Algebraic theories of brackets and related (co)homologies

A general theory of the Frolicher-Nijenhuis and Schouten-Nijenhuis brackets in the category of modules over a commutative algebra is described. Some related structures and (co)homology invariants are discussed, as well as applications to geometry.Comment: 14 pages; v2: minor correction

Generalized Lenard Chains, Separation of Variables and Superintegrability

We show that the notion of generalized Lenard chains naturally allows formulation of the theory of multi-separable and superintegrable systems in the context of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We prove that the existence of generalized Lenard chains generated by a Hamiltonian function defined on a four-dimensional \omega N manifold guarantees the separation of variables. As an application, we construct such chains for the H\'enon-Heiles systems and for the classical Smorodinsky-Winternitz systems. New bi-Hamiltonian structures for the Kepler potential are found.Comment: 14 pages Revte

Kodaira-Spencer formality of products of complex manifolds

We shall say that a complex manifold $X$ is emph{Kodaira-Spencer formal} if its Kodaira-Spencer differential graded Lie algebra $A^{0,*}_X(Theta_X)$ is formal; if this happen, then the deformation theory of $X$ is completely determined by the graded Lie algebra $H^*(X,Theta_X)$ and the base space of the semiuniversal deformation is a quadratic singularity.. Determine when a complex manifold is Kodaira-Spencer formal is generally difficult and we actually know only a limited class of cases where this happen. Among such examples we have Riemann surfaces, projective spaces, holomorphic Poisson manifolds with surjective anchor map $H^*(X,Omega^1_X) o H^*(X,Theta_X)$ and every compact K"{a}hler manifold with trivial or torsion canonical bundle. In this short note we investigate the behavior of this property under finite products. Let $X,Y$ be compact complex manifolds; we prove that whenever $X$ and $Y$ are K"{a}hler, then $X imes Y$ is Kodaira-Spencer formal if and only if the same holds for $X$ and $Y$. A revisit of a classical example by Douady shows that the above result fails if the K"{a}hler assumption is droppe

Commuting symmetry operators of the Dirac equation, Killing-Yano and Schouten-Nijenhuis brackets

In this paper we derive the most general first-order symmetry operator commuting with the Dirac operator in all dimensions and signatures. Such an operator splits into Clifford even and Clifford odd parts which are given in terms of odd Killing-Yano and even closed conformal Killing-Yano inhomogeneous forms respectively. We study commutators of these symmetry operators and give necessary and sufficient conditions under which they remain of the first-order. In this specific setting we can introduce a Killing-Yano bracket, a bilinear operation acting on odd Killing-Yano and even closed conformal Killing-Yano forms, and demonstrate that it is closely related to the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. An important non-trivial example of vanishing Killing-Yano brackets is given by Dirac symmetry operators generated from the principal conformal Killing-Yano tensor [hep-th/0612029]. We show that among these operators one can find a complete subset of mutually commuting operators. These operators underlie separability of the Dirac equation in Kerr-NUT-(A)dS spacetimes in all dimensions [arXiv:0711.0078].Comment: 37 pages, no figure

Do Killing-Yano tensors form a Lie Algebra?

Killing-Yano tensors are natural generalizations of Killing vectors. We investigate whether Killing-Yano tensors form a graded Lie algebra with respect to the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. We find that this proposition does not hold in general, but that it does hold for constant curvature spacetimes. We also show that Minkowski and (anti)-deSitter spacetimes have the maximal number of Killing-Yano tensors of each rank and that the algebras of these tensors under the SN bracket are relatively simple extensions of the Poincare and (A)dS symmetry algebras.Comment: 17 page

Combined use of ISCR and biostimulation techniques in incomplete processes of reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated solvents

Pools of chloroethenes are more recalcitrant in the transition zone between aquifers and basal aquitards than those elsewhere in the aquifer. Although biodegradation of chloroethenes occur in this zone, it is a slow process and a remediation strategy is needed. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that combined strategy of biostimulation and in situ chemical reduction (ISCR) is more efficient than the two separated strategies. Four different microcosm experiments with sediment and groundwater of a selected field site where an aged perchloroethene (PCE)-pool exists at the bottom of a transition zone, were designed under i) natural conditions, ii) biostimulation with lactic acid, iii) in situ chemical reduction (ISCR)with zero valent iron (ZVI) and under iv) a combined strategy with lactic acid and ZVI. Biotic and abiotic dehalogenation, terminal electron acceptor processes and evolution of microbial communities were investigated for each experiment. The main results where: i) limited reductive dehalogenation of PCE occurs under sulfate-reducing conditions; ii) biostimulation with lactic acid promotes a more pronounced reductive dehalogenation of PCE in comparison under natural conditions, but resulted in an accumulation of cis-dichloroethene (cDCE); iii) ISCR with zero-valent iron (ZVI) facilitates a sustained dehalogenation of PCE and its metabolites to non-halogenated products, however, the iv) combined strategy results in the fastest and sustained dehalogenation of PCE to non-halogenated products in comparison of all four set-ups. These findings suggest that biostimulation and ISCRwith ZVI are the most suitable strategy for a complete reductive dehalogenation of PCE-pools in the transition zone

Jacobi structures revisited

Jacobi algebroids, that is graded Lie brackets on the Grassmann algebra associated with a vector bundle which satisfy a property similar to that of the Jacobi brackets, are introduced. They turn out to be equivalent to generalized Lie algebroids in the sense of Iglesias and Marrero and can be viewed also as odd Jacobi brackets on the supermanifolds associated with the vector bundles. Jacobi bialgebroids are defined in the same manner. A lifting procedure of elements of this Grassmann algebra to multivector fields on the total space of the vector bundle which preserves the corresponding brackets is developed. This gives the possibility of associating canonically a Lie algebroid with any local Lie algebra in the sense of Kirillov.Comment: 20 page

Cohomology of the Lie Superalgebra of Contact Vector Fields on R1∣1\mathbb{R}^{1|1} and Deformations of the Superspace of Symbols

Following Feigin and Fuchs, we compute the first cohomology of the Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{K}(1)$ of contact vector fields on the (1,1)-dimensional real superspace with coefficients in the superspace of linear differential operators acting on the superspaces of weighted densities. We also compute the same, but $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-relative, cohomology. We explicitly give 1-cocycles spanning these cohomology. We classify generic formal $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-trivial deformations of the $\mathcal{K}(1)$-module structure on the superspaces of symbols of differential operators. We prove that any generic formal $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-trivial deformation of this $\mathcal{K}(1)$-module is equivalent to a polynomial one of degree $\leq4$. This work is the simplest superization of a result by Bouarroudj [On $\mathfrak{sl}$(2)-relative cohomology of the Lie algebra of vector fields and differential operators, J. Nonlinear Math. Phys., no.1, (2007), 112--127]. Further superizations correspond to $\mathfrak{osp}(N|2)$-relative cohomology of the Lie superalgebras of contact vector fields on $1|N$-dimensional superspace
