On the cohomology of the spaces of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on forms, as modules of the Lie algebra of vector fields. (Q1426677)

The first cohomology group of the Lie algebra of vector fields of a smooth manifold \(M\) with coefficients in the space of linear differential operators acting on contravariant skewsymmetric tensor fields, or on differential forms of the manifold, is computed. The authors have in mind to study deformations of these modules (which are, via classical deformation theory, linked with the appropriate first cohomology group). As it is often happens in such kinds of questions, the one-dimensional case \(M = \mathbb R\) is special and not treated here.
