For a central perfect extension of groups $A \rightarrowtail G\twoheadrightarrow Q$, first we study the natural image of $H_3(A,\mathbb{Z})$ in $H_3(G, \mathbb{Z})$. As a particular case, we show that if the extension is universal this…

In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for the existence of matchings in arbitrary groups and its linear analogue, which lead to some generalizations of the existing results in the theory of matchings in groups and central extensions…

This paper develops an approach for describing centrally extended groups, as determining the adjoint groups associated with quandles. Furthermore, we explicitly describe such groups of some quandles. As a corollary, we determine some second…

We give a characterisation of central extensions of a Lie group G by the non-zero complex numbers in terms of a differential two-form on G and a differential one-form on GxG. This is applied to the case of the central extension of the loop…

In this note, starting with any group homomorphism $f\colon\Gamma\to G$, which is surjective upon abelianization, we construct a universal central extension $u\colon U\twoheadrightarrow G,$ UNDER $\Gamma$ with the same surjective property,…

We present an explicit construction for the central extension of the group $\Map(X, G)$ where $X$ is a compact manifold and $G$ is a Lie group. If $X$ is a complex curve we obtain a simple construction of the extension by the Picard variety…

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…

We develop an explicit covering theory for complexes of groups, parallel to that developed for graphs of groups by Bass. Given a covering of developable complexes of groups, we construct the induced monomorphism of fundamental groups and…

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…

The paper concerns perfect diassociative algebras and their implications to the theory of central extensions. It is first established that perfect diassociative algebras have strong ties with universal central extensions. Then, using a…

Suppose that $G$ is a group, $H$ and $K$ are proper isomorphic central subgroups of $G$, and $\mathfrak{G}$ is an HNN-extension of $G$ with the associated subgroups $H$ and $K$. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for…

Similar to works of G. Ellis (1998), the concept of covering pair of Lie algebras is defined. Also, we show the existence of covering pair for the pair of Lie algebras (L,N) and then show that every crossed module is a homomorphic image of…

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…

Let $A$ be a unital separable amenable \CA and $C$ be a unital \CA with certain infinite property. We show that two full monomorphisms $h_1, h_2: A\to C$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if $[h_1]=[h_2]$ in $KL(A,C).$ Let…

Let $N$ and $H$ be groups, and let $G$ be an extension of $H$ by $N$. In this article we describe the structure of the complex group ring of $G$ in terms of data associated with $N$ and $H$. In particular, we present conditions on the…

In this paper, we show the relation among the relative central extensions in an isoclinism family of a particular relative central extension of Hom-Lie algebras. We define the notion of isoclinism on the central relative extensions of a…

Some properties of central extensions of 2+1 dimensional Galilei group are discussed. It is shown that certain families of extensions are isomorphic. An interpretation of new nontrivial cocycle is offered. A few bibliographical remarks are…

We determine the central extensions of a whole family of Lie algebras, obtained by the method of graded contractions from so(N+1), N arbitrary. All the inhomogeneous orthogonal and pseudo-orthogonal algebras are members of this family, as…

Given a group G and positive integers k,n, we let B_n=B_n(G) denote the set of all elements x in G such that |x^G|\leq n, and we say that G satisfies the (k,n)-covering condition for commutators if there is a subset S in G such that |S|\leq…

We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…
