| dc.description | For a Lie-Rinehart algebra (A,L), generators for the Gerstenhaber algebra Λ_A L correspond bijectively to right (A,L)-connections on A in such a way that B-V structures correspond to right (A,L)-module structures on A. When L is projective as an A-module, given an exact generator \partial, the homology of the B-V algebra (Λ_A L,\partial) coincides with that of L with coefficients in A with respect to the right (A,L)-module structure determined by \partial. When L is also of finite rank n, there are bijective correspondences between (A,L)-connections on Λ_A^nL and right (A,L)-connections on A and between left (A,L)- module structures on Λ_A^nL and right (A,L)-module structures on A. Hence there are bijective correspondences between (A,L)-connections on Λ_A^n L and generators for the Gerstenhaber bracket on Λ_A L and between (A,L)-module structures on Λ_A^n L and B-V algebra structures on Λ_A L. The homology of such a B-V algebra (Λ_A L,\partial) coincides with the cohomology of L with coefficients in Λ_A^n L, for the left (A,L)-module structure determined by \partial. Some applications are discussed. | |
