The topological classification of gerbes, as principal bundles with the structure group the projective unitary group of a complex Hilbert space, over a topological space $H$ is given by the third cohomology $text{H}^3(H, Bbb Z)$. When $H$ is a topological group the integral cohomology is often related to a locally continuous (or in the case of a Lie group, locally smooth) third group cohomology of $H$. We shall study in more detail this relation in the case of a group extension $1to N to G to H to 1$ when the gerbe is defined by an abelian extension $1to A to hat N to N to 1$ of $N$. In particular, when $text{H}_s^1(N,A)$ vanishes we shall construct a transgression map $text{H}^2_s(N, A) to text{H}^3_s(H, A^N)$, where $A^N$ is the subgroup of $N$-invariants in $A$ and the subscript $s$ denotes the locally smooth cohomology. Examples of this relation appear in gauge theory which are discussed in the paper.
A special symplectic Lie group is a triple $(G,omega, abla)$ such that $G$ is a finite-dimensional real Lie group and $omega$ is a left invariant symplectic form on $G$ which is parallel with respect to a left invariant affine structure $ abla$. In t
We obtain non-vanishing of group $L^p$-cohomology of Lie groups for $p$ large and when the degree is equal to the rank of the group. This applies both to semisimple and to some suitable solvable groups. In particular, it confirms that Gromovs questio
In this paper we prove some properties of the nonabelian cohomology $H^1(A,G)$ of a group $A$ with coefficients in a connected Lie group $G$. When $A$ is finite, we show that for every $A$-submodule $K$ of $G$ which is a maximal compact subgroup of $
We study realizations of Lie algebras by vector fields. A correspondence between classification of transitive local realizations and classification of subalgebras is generalized to the case of regular local realizations. A reasonable classification p
Based on the theory of Poisson vertex algebras we calculate skew-symmetry conditions and Jacobi identities for a class of third-order nonlocal operators of differential-geometric type. Hamiltonian operators within this class are defined by a Monge me
