Abstract
For Hamiltonian actions of semidirect products , we study 2-cocycles arising from residual Hamiltonian actions of on Hamiltonian reductions for . The motivation comes from the study of Teichmuller spaces for surfaces with boundary, which carry Hamiltonian actions of the Virasoro algebra. In this paper, we give a general setup for the problem, and we suggest an easier way to obtain the Gelfand-Fuchs 2-cocycles for Hamiltonian actions on Teichmuller spaces.
