Cohomology of Restricted Poisson algebras in characteristic 2

Abstract

In this paper, we study restricted Poisson algebras in characteristic 2 and their relationship with restricted Lie-Rinehart algebras, for which we develop a cohomology theory and investigate abelian extensions. We also construct a full cohomology complex for restricted Poisson algebras in characteristic 2 that captures formal deformations and prove that it is isomorphic to the cohomology complex of a suitable restricted Lie-Rinehart algebra, under certain assumptions. A number of examples are provided in order to illustrate our constructions.
