When a Lie group $G$ has a central $U(1)$-extension, there is a cocycle in the simplicial de Rham complex $\Omega^3(NG)$ which represents the Dixmier-Douady class. Mickelsson and Brylinski, McLaughlin constructed a central $U(1)$-extension…

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…

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…

Motivated by positive energy representations, we classify those continuous central extensions of the compactly supported gauge Lie algebra that are covariant under a 1-parameter group of transformations of the base manifold.

An explicit construction of central extensions of Lie superalgebras of Krichever-Novikov type is given. In the case of Jordan superalgebras related to the superalgebras of Krichever-Novikov type we calculate a 1-cocycle with coefficients in…

A two cocycle is associated to any action of a Lie group on a symplectic manifold. This allows to enlarge the concept of anomaly in classical dynamical systems considered by F. Toppan [in J. Nonlinear Math. Phys. 8, no.3 (2001) 518-533] so…

For each member $\mathcal{A}$ of a family of linear cycle sets whose underlying abelian group is cyclic of order a power of a prime number, we compute all the central extensions of $\mathcal{A}$ by an arbitrary abelian group.

In this paper, we give a natural braiding on the universal central extension of a crossed module of Lie algebras with a given braiding and construct the universal central extension of a braided crossed module of Lie algebras, showing that,…

We generalize the linear algebra setting of Tate's central extension to arbitrary dimension. In general, one obtains a Lie (n+1)-cocycle. We compute it explicitly. The construction is based on a Lie algebra variant of Beilinson's adelic…

An expression for the Lie algebra cocycle corresponding to the central extension of the group GLres(H) is derived in the book Loop Groups [1]. It will be shown in this paper that some of the terms in this expression are ambiguous and in…

We briefly indicate some implications of [1] for the second Lie algebra cohomology of equivariant map algebras and (twisted multi) loop algebras.

We develop a theory of universal central extensions of Hom-Lie algebras. Classical results of universal central extensions of Lie algebras cannot be completely extended to Hom-Lie algebras setting, because of the composition of two central…

The most general possible central extensions of two whole families of Lie algebras, which can be obtained by contracting the special pseudo-unitary algebras su(p,q) of the Cartan series A_l and the pseudo-unitary algebras u(p,q), are…

We construct a central Lie group extension for the Lie group of compactly supported sections of a Lie group bundle over a sigma-compact base manifold. This generalises a result of the paper "Central extensions of groups of sections" by Neeb…

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 show that the canonical central extension of the group of sections of a Lie group bundle over a compact manifold, constructed in [NW09], is universal. In doing so, we prove universality of the corresponding central extension of Lie…

Lie's Third Theorem, asserting that each finite-dimensional Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group, fails in infinite dimensions. The modern account on this phenomenon is the integration problem for central extensions of…

This paper explores the cohomology of linear cycle sets, focusing on extensions of a specific linear cycle set H by an abelian group I. We derive explicit formulas for the second cohomology group, which classifies these extensions, and…

We construct the explicit formula for the (2n+1)-cocycle of the Lie algebra of (pseudo)differential operators on a n-dimensional space. We prove that this formula in fact defines a cocycle for n=1 and n=2.

We present a geometric construction of central S^1-extensions of the quantomorphism group of a prequantizable, compact, symplectic manifold, and explicitly describe the corresponding lattice of integrable cocycles on the Poisson Lie…
