In this paper we define the notion of Brauer–Clifford group for [Formula: see text]-Azumaya algebras when [Formula: see text] is a commutative algebra and[Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-Lie algebra over a commutative ring [Formula: see text]. This is the situation that arises in applications having connections to differential geometry. This Brauer–Clifford group turns out to be an example of a Brauer group of a symmetric monoidal category.

Let A be an algebra over an operad in a cocomplete closed symmetric monoidal category. We study the category of A-modules. We define certain symmetric product functors of such modules generalizing the tensor product of modules over commutative algebras, which we use to define the notion of a jet module. This in turn generalizes the notion of a jet module over a module over a classical commutative algebra. We are able to define Atiyah classes (i.e., obstructions to the existence of connections) in this generalized context. We use certain model structures on the category of A-modules to study the properties of these Atiyah classes. The purpose of the paper is not to present any really deep theorem. It is more about the right concepts when dealing with modules over an algebra that is defined over an arbitrary operad, i.e., the aim is to show how to generalize various classical constructions, including modules of jets, the Atiyah class and the curvature, to the operadic context. For convenience of the reader and for the purpose of defining the notations, the basic definitions of the theory of operads and model categories are included.

Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, Lℤ be the ℤ-span of a Chevalley basis of L and LR = R⊗ℤLℤ be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R. Let [Formula: see text] be the nilpotent subalgebra of LR spanned by the root vectors associated with positive roots. The aim of this paper is to determine the automorphism group of [Formula: see text].

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we give a necessary condition for the existence of an orthogonal decomposition of the special linear Lie algebra over [Formula: see text]. Additionally, we study orthogonal decompositions of the symplectic Lie algebra and the special orthogonal Lie algebra over [Formula: see text].

We define the notion of logarithmic Poisson structure along a non zero ideal $\cali$ of an associative, commutative algebra $\cal A$ and prove that each logarithmic Poisson structure induce a skew symmetric 2-form and a Lie-Rinehart structure on the $\cal A$-module $\Omega_K(\log \cali)$ of logarithmic K\"{a}hler differential. This Lie-Rinehart structure define a representation of the underline Lie algebra. Applying the machinery of Chevaley-Eilenberg and Palais, we define the notion of logarithmic Poisson cohomology which is a measure obstructions of Linear representation of the underline Lie algebra for which the grown ring act by multiplication.
