Abstract:
In this paper we study the Gelfand-Fuks cohomology of the Lie algebra of compactly supported vectorfields on ${{\mathbf {R}}^n}$ and establish the degeneracy of a certain spectral sequence at the ${E_1}$ level. We apply this result to the study of another spectral sequence introduced by Resetnikov for the cohomology of the algebra of vectorfields on ${S^n}$.References
