Super homologies associated with low dimensional Lie algebras
1 Introduction
A Poisson structure on a manifold is a 2-vector field characterized as , where is the Schouten bracket. The graded algebra with the Schouten bracket is a prototype of Lie superalgebra (cf. [2]). The Poisson condition means that a 2-chain is a cycle. Thus, studying the second super homology group of Lie superalgebra of tangent bundle of is an activity of Poisson geometry (cf. [3]). Given a -graded Lie superalgebra, the 0-graded subspace is a Lie algebra. In this note, using the DGA with the Schouten bracket as a model, we start from an abstract Lie algebra, construct non-trivial Lie superalgebra by Schouten-like bracket. Then it may be natural to ask how the core Lie algebra control the Lie superalgebra. One trial here is to investigate the Betti numbers of the super homology groups. For abelian Lie algebras, the boundary operator is trivial, and the Betti number is equal to the dimension of chain space for a given weight. So, we study their super homology groups for low dimensional Lie algebras of dimension smaller than 4.
For non-abelian Lie algebras of dimension 2, we have
We classify non-abelian Lie algebras of dimension 3 into four cases:
(1) and , (2) and ,
(3) , (4) .
Even though the case (4) has two kinds of Lie algebras when the base field is , we made the same treatment and got the same results.
When the homology groups are the same with usual Lie algebra homology groups, so we show the Betti numbers for super homology groups when .
where in (3) is defined by , and is a non-zero parameter of the Lie bracket relations , , .

5 Super homologies of 2-dimensional Lie algebras
Since our discussion is trivial for abelian Lie algebras, we consider a Lie algebra generated by with . We have only 1-dimensional 2-vectors, so we take .

6 Super homologies of 3-dimensional Lie algebras
We know the all Lie algebras of lower dimensional cases (cf. Lie algebras by Jacobson), in this section we try to get super homology tables for 3-dimensional Lie algebras. For that purpose, we prepare notations here. Let be a basis of , be a basis of , and be a basis of . Since have symmetric property, we put .

The above pictures suggest properties of are vertical, horizontal, or slant relationship, where means the barycenter. We call them twins and call triple stars. When move around the area , some becomes single star near the border of . For instance, . By this single star and vertical relations, we see that are single star. By the same idea, we see and are single star. Take the particular which is single star. If is odd, then which is the 2nd entry of the single star, and by applying vertical relation, are single star. Now applying horizontal relation, we conclude are all single star when is odd. So the rank is .
Now assume . Since is single star if one of is odd, we care about of even entries . Take

The parity of still has some effect. holds if we use the Gauss symbol.
So far, we got by or , and by Lemma 6.4 generators.
The last thing to do is to find which contributes to enlarging the linearly independent system. By bare hands, or by an experiment of symbol calculus, we know that contribute as linear independent members, where
The cardinality is . This means the rank should be
Since the Betti number is given by and it is non-negative, holds in our case. Thus, we conclude the rank is and so the kernel dimension of is .

7 Further questions
So far, we discussed super homology groups associated with Lie algebras of dimension 2 or 3. We observed that if then the Betti numbers are all zero, and it may be interesting question if this is true when the dimension is larger than 3.
