We describe representations of certain superconformal algebras in the semi-infinite Weil complex related to the loop algebra of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra and in the semi-infinite cohomology. We show that in the case where the Lie algebra is endowed with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form, the relative semi-infinite cohomology of the loop algebra has a structure, which is analogous to the classical structure of the de Rham cohomology in Kähler geometry.

Nous décrivons des représentations de certaines algèbres superconformes dans le complexe de Weil semi-infini de l'algèbre des lacets d'une algèbre de Lie complexe de dimension finie et dans la cohomologie semi-infinie. Nous démontrons que dans le cas où l'algèbre de Lie est munie d'une forme bilinéaire symétrique non dégénérée invariante, la cohomologie semi-infinie relative de l'algèbre des lacets admet une structure, qui est l'analogue de la structure classique de la cohomologie de de Rham des variétés kählériennes.
