Lie algebras of symplectic derivations and cycles on the moduli spaces
Published 2006-08-28, updated 2009-04-06Version 2
We consider the Lie algebra consisting of all derivations on the free associative algebra, generated by the first homology group of a closed oriented surface, which kill the symplectic class. We find the first non-trivial abelianization of this Lie algebra and discuss its relation to unstable cohomology classes of the moduli space of curves via a theorem of Kontsevich.
