Abstract: The external derivative $d$ on differential manifolds inspires graded operators on complexes of spaces $\Lambda^rg^\ast$, $\Lambda^rg^\ast\otimes g$, $\Lambda^rg^\ast\otimes g^\ast$ stated by $g^\ast$ dual to a Lie algebra $g$. Cohomological properties of these operators are studied in the case of the Lie algebra $g=se( 3 )$ of the Lie group of Euclidean motions.

Keywords: Lie group, Lie algebra, dual space, twist, wrench, cohomology
