Abstract

In a recent paper by Zhao and the author, the Lie algebras A[D]=AF[D]A[D]=A\otimes F[D] of Weyl type were defined and studied, where AA is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field FF of any characteristic, and F[D]F[D] is the polynomial algebra of a commutative derivation subalgebra DD of AA. In the present paper, the 2-cocycles of a class of the above Lie algebras A[D]A[D] (which are called the Lie algebras of generalized differential operators in the present paper), with FF being a field of characteristic 0, are determined. Among all the 2-cocycles, there is a special one which seems interesting. Using this 2-cocycle, the central extension of the Lie algebra is defined.
