Actions of Lie 2-algebras and comomentum maps

In this paper we introduce the notion of a 2-action of a Lie 2-algebra on an arbitrary manifold M. Furthermore, in [Rog12], given a n-plectic manifold (M, $\omega$), the authors consider a Lie Infinity-algebra L$\infty$ (M, $\omega$), which is a higher analogue of the Poisson algebra of observables associated to a symplectic manifold. This Lie Infinity-algebra reduces to a Lie 2-algebra L^2 (M, $\omega$) when (M, $\omega$) is 2-plectic. Following ideas of N.L. Delgado [Del18], we introduce the Lie 2-algebra D^2 (M, $\omega$), which generalises the Lie 2-algebra L^2 (M, $\omega$) and its extension containing Hamiltonian pairs. Given a two-plectic manifold (M, $\omega$) and a Lie 2-algebra g_1 $\oplus$ g_0 acting on M we define a comomentum map as a lift of the action, i.e., as a Lie 2-algebra morphism from g_1 $\oplus$ g_0 to the extension of the Lie 2-algebra D^2 (M, $\omega$). In an appendix, we discuss very explicitly numerous examples, classified according to their algebraic properties.

An approach to the tangential Poisson cohomology based on examples in duals of Lie algebras

We study the tangential Poisson cohomology (TP-cohomology) of regular Poisson manifolds, first defined by Lichnerowicz using contravariant tensor fields. We show that for a regular Poisson manifold M, the TP-cohomology coincides with the leafwise de Rham (or Cech) cohomology of the symplectic foliation of M. Its computation in various degrees leads to open, non trivial problems. To get a better understanding of these difficulties, we study explicitly many examples coming from nilpotent and 3-dimensional (real) Lie algebras. For the latter, we compare the TP-cohomology and the usual Poisson cohomology (P-cohomology).

Tangential Star Products

We etablish a necessary and sufficient condition under which there exists a tangential and well graded star product, differential or not, on the dual g^* of a nilpotent Lie algebra g. We also give enlightening examples with explicit computations.
