The Chern character for Lie-Rinehart algebras
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 55 (2005) no. 7, pp. 2551-2574.

Let A be a commutative S-algebra where S is a ring containing the rationals. We prove the existence of a Chern character for Lie-Rinehart algebras L over A with values in the Lie-Rinehart cohomology of L which is independent of choice of a L-connection. Our result generalizes the classical Chern character from the K-theory of A to the algebraic De Rham cohomology.

Soit A une S-algèbre commutative, où S désigne un anneau contenant les nombres rationnels. Nous démontrons l’existence d’un caractère de Chern pour les algèbres de Lie L sur A à valeurs dans la cohomologie de Lie-Rinehart de L, qui est indépendante d’un choix de L-connexion. Notre résultat établit une généralisation du caractère de Chern classique en K-théorie à la cohomologie de De Rham algébrique.
