On derivations of free algebras over an operad and the generalized divergence (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk will first introduce the generalized divergence map from the Lie algebra of derivations of a free algebra over an operad to the trace space of the appropriate associative algebra. This encompasses the Satoh trace (for Lie algebras) and the double divergence of Alekseev, Kawazumi, Kuno and Naef (for associative algebras). The generalized divergence is a Lie 1-cocyle.

One restricts to considering the positive degree subalgebra with respect to the natural grading on the Lie algebra of derivations. The relationship of the positive subalgebra with its subalgebra generated in degree one is of particular interest. For example, this question arises in considering the Johnson morphism in the Lie case.

The talk will outline the structural results obtained by using the generalized divergence. These were inspired by Satoh's study of the kernel of the trace map in the Lie case. A new ingredient is the usage of naturality with respect to the category of free, finite-rank abelian groups and split monomorphisms. This allows global results to be formulated using 'torsion' for functors on this category and extends the usage of naturality with respect to the general linear groups.
