Infinitesimal deformations of restricted simple Lie algebras. II (Q1020950)

In this paper, the second cohomology with coefficients in the adjoint module of finite-dimensional simple restricted modular Lie algebras of Cartan type of contact (\(K_n\)) and Hamiltonian (\(H_n\)) series, is computed (the characteristic of the ground field is assumed to be \(>3\)). According to the classical deformation theory, this provides the first step in determining their deformations. The paper continues the first one in the series [J. Algebra 320, No. 12, 4102--4131 (2008; Zbl 1221.17021)] where the same task is performed for the general (\(W_n\)) and special (\(S_n\)) types. The main results of this paper, along with methods for computations for similar cohomology, were known to \textit{A. Dzhumadil'daev} since the beginning of the 1980s [his Ph.D. and D.Sc. theses, Moscow State Univ. 1981, 1988]. Unfortunately, only a small part of it, in a somewhat cryptic form and lacking the full proofs, appeared in the mainstream literature [Sov. Math., Dokl. 23, 398--402 (1981); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 257, 1044--1048 (1981; Zbl 0467.17010). In the paper under review, any reference to this previous work is absent. In the proof, the author utilizes results about cohomology of truncated coinduced modules over modular Lie algebras [Math. Z. 206, No. 1, 153--168 (1991; Zbl 0727.17010)], and the second cohomology with coefficients in the trivial module of Lie algebras of Cartan type [Algebras Groups Geom. 3, 431--455 (1986; Zbl 0621.17012)], due to \textit{R. Farnsteiner} and \textit{H. Strade}. It should be noted that these results were also obtained independently (and earlier) by \textit{A. Dzhumadil'daev} [Mat. Sb. 180, No. 4, 456--468 (1989; Zbl 0691.17008) and Funct. Anal. Appl. 18, 331--332 (1984); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 18, No. 4, 77--78 (1984; Zbl 0569.17005), respectively]. Another intermediate result of this paper -- genuinely new and interesting for its own sake -- is the computation of the third cohomology with trivial coefficients of the Hamiltonian Lie algebras.
