Lie algebroid cohomology and Lie algebroid extensions

International audienceWe consider the extension problem for Lie algebroids over schemes over a field. Given a locally free Lie algebroid Q over a scheme X, and a sheaf of finitely generated Lie O X-algebras L , we determine the obstruction to the existence of extensions 0 → L → E → Q → 0, and classify the extensions in terms of a suitable Lie algebroid hypercohomology group. In the preliminary sections we study free Lie algebroids and recall some basic facts about Lie algebroid hypercohomology
