We determine the abelianization of the derivation algebra of the Chen Lie algebra as a Lie algebra, and show that the abelianizaton is given by the degree one part and the Morita's trace maps. We also consider twisted cohomology groups of the automorphism group of a free nilpotent group. We show that the trace map for the exterior product defines a non-trivial twisted second cohomology class of it.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-02-16T08:20:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F28", "17B40", "20G05" ], "keywords": [ "free lie algebra", "derivation algebra", "automorphism group", "non-trivial twisted second cohomology class", "chen lie algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1012.2169E" } } }
