The aim of this paper is to study co-prolongations of central extensions. We construct the obstruction theory for co-prolongations and classify the equivalence classes of these by kernels of a homomorphisms between 2-dimensional cohomology…

We study the representation theory of the quantum Teichmueller space when going to infinity in the classical Teichmueller space. The geometric ingredients are the extension of Thurston's shear coordinates to the augmented Teichmueller space…

We give a classification theorem of certain geometric objects, called torsors over the sheaf of K-theory spaces, in terms of Tate vector bundles. This allows us to present a very natural and simple, alternative approach to the Tate central…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq2$ we construct a new group $\tilde{{\cal K}}(G,n)$. Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of…

Basing ourselves on Janelidze and Kelly's general notion of central extension, we study universal central extensions in the context of semi-abelian categories. We consider a new fundamental condition on composition of central extensions and…

We introduce the notion of \emph{topo-symmetric extensions} of topological groups, a new generalization of classical group extensions that incorporates both topological and symmetry constraints. We define morphisms between such extensions,…

We survey ultradifferentiable extension theorems, i.e., quantitative versions of Whitney's classical extension theorem, with special emphasis on the existence of continuous linear extension operators. The focus is on Denjoy-Carleman classes…

In this paper, we introduce the first and third cohomology groups on Leibniz triple systems, which can be applied to extension theory and $1$-parameter formal deformation theory. Specifically, we investigate the central extension theory for…

In this paper, we study the isomorphism problem for central extensions. More precisely, in some new situations, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for two central extensions to be isomorphic. We investigate the case when the…

The aim of this paper is to study the $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongation of central extensions. We obtain the obstruction theory for $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongations and classify $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongations thanks to low-dimensional…

The quandle homology theory is generalized to the case when the coefficient groups admit the structure of Alexander quandles, by including an action of the infinite cyclic group in the boundary operator. Theories of Alexander extensions of…

It was shown by Gersten that a central extension of a finitely generated group is quasi-isometrically trivial provided that its Euler class is bounded. We say that a finitely generated group $G$ satisfies Property QITB (quasi-isometrically…

We explain how to develop the twisted doubling integrals for Brylinski-Deligne extensions of connected classical groups. This gives a family of global integrals which represent Euler products for this class of non-linear extensions.

Thompson's groups, which are denoted by $F, T$ and $V$, were introduced by R. Thompson. It is known that they are related to various fields in mathematics. In this paper, we establish that Thompson's groups are regarded as subgroups of…

Infinite presentations are given for all of the higher Torelli groups of once-punctured surfaces. In the case of the classical Torelli group, a finite presentation of the corresponding groupoid is also given, and finite presentations of the…

We examine the structure of central twisted transformation group \cs-algebras $C_{0}(X)\rtimes_{\id,u}G$, and apply our results to the group \cs-algebras of central group extensions. Our methods require that we study Moore's cohomology…

We adapt some of the methods of quantum Teichm\"uller theory to construct a family of representations of the pure braid group of the sphere.

We prove central limit theorems for the random walks on either the mapping class group of a closed, connected, orientable, hyperbolic surface, or on $\text{Out}(F_N)$, each time under a finite second moment condition on the measure (either…

Let G be a group which is topologically a CW-complex, BG a classifying space for G, and A a discrete abelian group. To a central extension of G by A, one can associate a cohomology class in $H^2(BG,A)$. We show this association is…
