Abstract

Let DD be a 2-dimensional closed unit disk and Symp(D,0)rel\rm{Symp}(D,0)_{\rm{rel}} the group of symplectomorphisms preserving the origin and the boundary D\partial D pointwise. We consider the R\mathbb{R}-valued flux homomorphism on Symp(D,0)rel\rm{Symp}(D,0)_{\rm{rel}} and define the central R\mathbb{R}-extension called the R\mathbb{R}-valued flux extension. We determine the Euler class of this extension and investigate the relation between the extension, the group 22-cocycle defined by Ismagilov, Losik, and Michor, and the Calabi invariant of DD.
