On the Structure Constants of Volume Preserving Diffeomorphism Algebra

Abstract

Regularizing volume preserving diffeomorphism (VPD) is equivalent to a long standing problem, namely regularizing Nambu-Poisson bracket. In this paper, as a first step to regularizing VPD, we find general complete independent basis of VPD algebra. Especially, we find complete independent basis that give simple structure constants, where three area preserving diffeomorphism (APD) algebras are manifest. This implies that an algebra that regularizes VPD algebra should include three u(N) Lie algebras.
