Finite presentability of universal central extensions of ${\mathfrak{sl}_n}$

Rings and Algebras 2020-04-14 v1

Abstract

In this paper we discuss finite presentability of the universal central extensions of Lie algebras sln(R){\mathfrak{sl}_n(R)}, where n3n\geq 3 and RR is a unital associative kk-algebra. We show that a universal central extension is finitely presented if and only if the algebra RR is finitely presented.
