The definition of "classical anomaly" is introduced. It describes the situation in which a purely classical dynamical system which presents both a lagrangian and a hamiltonian formulation admits symmetries of the action for which the…

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…

The arising of central extensions is discussed in two contexts. At first classical counterparts of quantum anomalies (deserving being named as "classical anomalies") are associated with a peculiar subclass of the non-equivariant maps.…

The connections between Euler's equations on central extensions of Lie algebras and Euler's equations on the original, extended algebras are described. A special infinite sequence of central extensions of nilpotent Lie algebras constructed…

We define a cocycle on the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold and investigate its properties. The main applications are concerned with symplectic actions of discrete groups. For example, we give an alternative…

We present a unified study of some aspects of quantum bicrossproduct algebras of inhomogeneous Lie algebras, like Poincare, Galilei and Euclidean in N dimensions. The action associated to the bicrossproduct structure allows to obtain a…

The classical and quantum dynamics of noncanonically coupled os- cillators is investigated in its relation to Lie superalgebras. It is shown that the quantum dynamics admits a hidden (super)hamiltonian formulation and, hence, preserves the…

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…

We prove some properties of analytic multiplicative and sub-multiplicative cocycles. The results allow to construct natural invariant analytic sets associated to complex dynamical systems.

The Noether charge algebras of D-brane actions contain two anomalous terms which modify the standard supertranslation algebra. We use a cocycle approach to derive associated spectra of topological charge algebras. The formalism is applied…

Lie algebra contractions on the classical Drinfel'd Double of a given Lie bialgebra are introduced and compared to the usual Lie bialgebra contraction theory. The connection between both approaches turns out to be intimately linked to…

We show that every nilpotent group of class at most two may be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. The embedding is shown to depend only on the base group. Some refinements are obtained by considering…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of a central $U(1)$-extension of a double Lie groupoid and show that it defines a cocycle in the certain triple complex.

We investigate a two-cocycle on the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of an exact symplectic manifolds defined by Ismagilov, Losik, and Michor and investigate its properties. We provide both vanishing and non-vanishing results and…

Thurston has claimed (unpublished) that central extensions of word hyperbolic groups by finitely generated abelian groups are automatic. We show that they are in fact biautomatic. Further, we show that every 2-dimensional cohomology class…

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.

We show that the central representation is nontrivial for all one-dimensional central extensions of nilpotent Lie algebras possessing a codimension one abelian ideal.

We obtain a recurrent and monotone method for constructing and classifying nilpotent Lie algebras by means of successive central extensions. It consists in calculating the second cohomology of an extendable nilpotent Lie algebra with the…

We give a sufficient condition for a symbolic topological dynamical system with action of a countable amenable group to be an extension of the full shift, a problem analogous to those studied by Ashley, Marcus, Johnson and others for…

Factor systems are a tool for working on the extension problem of algebraic structures such as groups, Lie algebras, and associative algebras. Their applications are numerous and well-known in these common settings. We construct…
