Abstract

For Hamiltonian actions of semidirect products G=FHG=F \ltimes H, we study 2-cocycles arising from residual Hamiltonian actions of FF on Hamiltonian reductions for HH. 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.
