Abstract: We prove Pursell-Shanks type results for the Lie algebra D(M) of all linear differential operators of a smooth manifold M, for its Lie subalgebra D^1(M) of all linear first-order differential operators of M, and for the Poisson algebra S(M)=Pol(T*M) of all polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle T*M, the symbols of the operators in D(M). Chiefly however we provide explicit formulas describing completely the automorphisms of the Lie algebras D^1(M), S(M), and D(M).

Review text

This paper is an extension of Pursell-Shanks results for the Lie algebra \(D(M)\) of differential operators of a smooth manifold \(M\), as well as for the subalgebra \(D_1(M)\) of first order operators and for the Poisson algebra \(S(M)\) of the symbols of the operators in \(D(M)\). The classical result of \textit{L. E. Pursell} and \textit{M. E. Shanks} [see Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 5, 468--472 (1954; Zbl 0055.42105)] states that the Lie algebra of smooth vector fields of a smooth manifold characterizes the smooth structure of the variety. The goal of the present paper is to prove a similar result for \(D(M)\). First the authors study \(D(M)\) in a purely algebraic spirit. The concrete geometric characterization is then described. Explicit formulas are also obtained; these formulas give all the automorphisms of the Lie algebras \(D(M)\), \(D_1(M)\) and \(S(M)\).
