Abstract

We investigate the first cohomology space attached to the embedding of the Lie superalgebra K(l) of contact vector fields on the supercircle S1/1 in the Lie Superalgebra of superpseudodifferential operators.  Following the paper of V. Ovsienko and C. Roger, Deforming the Lie algebra of vector fields on SI inside the Poisson algebra on T*S1, Comm. Math. Phys., 198 (1998) 97-110, we show that this space is four-dimensional with only even cocycles and we calculate explicitly four l-cocycles representing non-trivial generating cohomology classes.
