Gerbal central extensions of reductive groups by $K_3$

Algebraic Geometry 2015-08-27 v2 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We classify central extensions of a reductive group GG by K3\mathcal{K}_3 and BK3B\mathcal{K}_3, the sheaf of third Quillen KK-theory groups and its classifying stack. These turn out to be parametrized by the group of Weyl-invariant quadratic forms on the cocharacter lattice valued in k×k^\times and the group of integral Weyl-invariant cubic forms on the cocharacter lattice respectively.
