A comment concerning cohomology and invariants of Lie algebras with respect to contractions and deformations

Abstract: Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint module. A criterion to decide whether a given deformation is invertible or not is given in dependence of the Poincaré polynomial.

“…• The contraction criterion formulated in Theorem 4.1 is a natural generalization of contraction criteria which involve standard cohomology cocycles -see e.g. [11,14]. • The invariant function ψ can be easily generalized and used as an invariant of an arbitrary anti-commutative or commutative algebra -it can, for example, describe all two-dimensional complex Jordan algebras and their contractions [17].…”

“…The spaces H 0 (g, g) and H 1 (g, g) are identified with the center Z(g) and the outer derivations Der(g)/IDer(g) of g, respectively [6]. To illustrate how the rigidity problem leads naturally to cohomological methods, we recall the notion of contraction of Lie algebras (see, e.g., [28][29][30][31] and references therein).…”

“…Contractions of Lie algebras have been investigated by many authors [Sa61], [He66], [LeN67], [We91] and continue to be a subject of active interest, particularly in connection with the somewhat inverse problem of deforming Lie algebras [FM05], [Bu07]. Note that contractions not only link two Lie algebras but also link some objects related to these Lie algebras such as representations, invariants, special functions and quantization mappings [MN72], [DR85], [CW99], [Cp07], [Ca09], and also coadjoint orbits, which provide the motivation for the present paper, as we will explain directly, below.…”
