Abstract
We introduce three non-trivial 2-cocycles ck, k=0,1,2, on the Lie algebra S3H=Map(S3,H) with the aid of the corresponding basis vector fields on S3, and extend them to 2-cocycles on the Lie algebra S3gl(n,H)=S3H⊗gl(n,C). Then we have the corresponding central extension S3gl(n,H)⊕⊕k(Cak). As a subalgebra of S3H we have the algebra C[ϕ] of the Laurent polynomial spinors on S3. Then we have a Lie subalgebra gl^(n,H)=C[ϕ]⊗gl(n,C) of S3gl(n,H), as well as its central extension by the 2-cocycles ck and the Euler vector field d: gl^=gl^(n,H)⊕⊕k(Cak)⊕Cd . The Lie algebra sl^(n,H) is defined as a Lie subalgebra of gl^(n,H) generated by C[ϕ]⊗sl(n,C)). We have the corresponding central extension of sl^(n,H) by the 2-cocycles ck and the derivation d, which becomes a Lie subalgebra sl^ of gl^. Let h0 be a Cartan subalgebra of sl(n,C) and h^=h0⊕⊕k(Cak)⊕Cd. The root space decomposition of the ad(h^)-representation of sl^ is obtained. The set of roots is Δ={m/2δ+α;α∈Δ0,m∈Z}⋃{m/2δ;m∈Z} . And the root spaces are g^m/2δ+α=C[ϕ;m]⊗gα, for α=0 , g^m/2δ=C[ϕ;m]⊗h0, for m=0, and g^0δ=h^, where C[ϕ;m] is the subspace with the homogeneous degree m. The Chevalley generators of sl^ are given.
