Abstract: Discussed here is descent theory in the differential context where everything is equipped with a differential operator. To answer a question personally posed by A. Pianzola, we determine all twisted forms of the differential Lie algebras over mathbbC(t) associated with complex simple Lie algebras. Hopf-Galois Theory, a ring-theoretic counterpart of theory of torsors for group schemes, plays a role when we grasp the above-mentioned twisted forms from torsors.


A \(\delta-\mathbb{C}(t)\)-Lie algebra is a a Lie algebra \(g\) over \(\mathbb{C}(t)\) which is equipped with an additive operator \(\delta: g\rightarrow g\), such that for \(a\in\mathbb{C}(t)\) and \(X\in g\) one has \[ \delta(aX)=\delta(a)X+a\delta(X), \] where \(\delta\) acts onto \(a\) as an operator \(\frac{d}{dt}\). In the same way a \(\delta-R\) Lie algebra is defined for any differential ring \(R\). A twisted form of \(g\) is a \(\delta-\mathbb{C}(t)\)-Lie algebra \(f\) such that \[ g\otimes_{\mathbb{C}(t)} R=f\otimes_{\mathbb{C}(t)} R \] as \(\delta-R\) Lie algebras The main result of the paper under review is a Theorem that for a complex simple Lie algebra \(g_0\) describes all \(\delta-\mathbb{C}(t)\)-Lie algebra that are twisted form of \(g_0(\mathbb{C}(t))\)
