Deformations of the Exterior Algebra of Differential Forms

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let D:Ω→ΩD:Ω\xrightarrow{}Ω be a differential operator defined in the exterior algebra ΩΩ of differential forms over the polynomial ring SS in nn variables. In this work we give conditions for deforming the module structure of ΩΩ over SS induced by the differential operator DD, in order to make DD an SS-linear morphism while leaving the C\mathbb{C}-vector space structure of ΩΩ unchanged. One can then apply the usual algebraic tools to study differential operators: finding generators of the kernel and image, computing a Hilbert polynomial of these modules, etc. Taking differential operators arising from a distinguished family of derivations, we are able to classify which of them allow such deformations on ΩΩ. Finally we give examples of differential operators and the deformations that they induce.
