Abstract

We consider the action of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {aff}(1)\), by the Lie derivative on the space of symbols \(\mathcal S_{\delta }=\bigoplus _{k=0}^{+\infty }\mathcal {F}_{\delta -k}\) and of pseudo-differential operators \(\Psi \mathcal {D}\mathcal {O}\). We investigate the first and the second cohomology space associated with the embedding of the affine Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {aff}(1)\) on the line \(\mathbb {R}\) in the modules \(\mathrm {M}\) where \(\mathrm {M}=\mathcal {F}_{\lambda }\), \(\mathrm {D}_{\lambda ,\mu }\), \(\mathcal {S}_\delta \), \(\mathcal {P}\), \(\Psi \mathcal {D}\mathcal {O}\). We study the deformations of the structure of the \(\mathfrak {aff}(1)\)-modules \(\mathcal {S}_\delta \), \(\mathcal {P}\) and \(\Psi \mathcal {D}\mathcal {O}\). We prove that any formal deformation is equivalent to its infinitesimal part. We complete our study by giving a example of deformation. Following the work of Guha we study some applications in mathematical physics.
