Abstract:
In this work we consider infinite-dimensional Lie-algebra $W_n\ltimes\mathbf g\otimes\mathcal O_n$ of formal vector fields on $n$-dimensional plane, extended by formal $\mathbf g$-valued functions of $n$ variables. Here $\mathbf g$ is an arbitrary Lie algebra. We show that the cochain complex of this Lie algebra is quasi-isomorphic to the quotient of Weyl algebra of $(\mathbf{gl}_n\oplus\mathbf g)$ by $(2n+1)$-st term of standard filtration. We consider separately the case of reductive Lie algebra $\mathbf g$. We show how one can use the methods of formal geometry, to construct characteristic classes of bundles. For every
$\mathbf G$-bundle on $n$-dimensional complex manifold we construct a natural
homomorphism from ring $A$ of relative cohomologies of Lie algebra $W_n\ltimes \mathbf g\otimes\mathcal O_n$ to ring of tohomologies of the manifold. We show that generators of ring
$A$ mapped under this homomorphism to characteristic classes of tangent and $\mathbf G$-bundles.
