Derivations and cohomologies of Lipschitz algebras (Q2287443)

Based on a classical observation of de Leeuw, the author constructs a fibration \(E\) over a compact metric space \(X\) which plays the role of the unit sphere bundle over a Riemannian manifold. Let \(\mathrm{Lip}(X)\) denote the algebra of Lipschitz functions on \(X\). The main result asserts that Hochschild cohomology spaces \(H^n(\mathrm{Lip}(X),(C(E))\), \(n \geq 1\), have infinite rank as \(\mathrm{Lip}(X)\)-modules, provided that \(X\) admits a local geodesic structure. On the other hand, \(H^1(\mathrm{Lip}(X),C(X))=0\) for a compact Lipschitz manifold \(X\).
