Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we study the Gelfand-Fuks cohomology of the Lie algebra of compactly supported vectorfields on Rn and establish the degeneracy of a certain spectral sequence at the E1 level. We apply this result to the study of another spectral sequence introduced by Resetnikov for the cohomology of the algebra of vectorfields on S n.
