Gerstenhaber algebras and coalgebras and Chevalley-Harrison cohomology

Abstract: The fundamental example of Gerstenhaber algebra is the space

T_{p o l y} ({m a t h b b R}^{d})

of polyvector fields on

m a t h b b R^{d}

, equipped with the wedge product and the Schouten bracket. In this paper, we explicitely describe what is the enveloping

G_{i} n f t y

algebra of a Gerstenhaber algebra

m a t h c a l G

. This structure gives us a definition of the Chevalley-Harrison cohomology operator for

m a t h c a l G

. We finally show the nontriviality of a Chevalley-Harrison cohomology group for a natural Gerstenhaber subalgebra in

T_{p o l y} ({m a t h b b R}^{d})

.
