It is well-known that the second homology group $H_2(\st)$ of the Steinberg Lie algebra $\st$ is trivial when $n\geq 5$. In this paper, we will work out $H_2(\st)$ explicitly for $n=3, 4$ which are not necessarily trivial. Consequently, we…

It is known that the second Leibniz homology group $HL_2(stl_n(R))$ of the Steinberg Leibniz algebra $stl_n(R)$ is trivial for $n\geq 5$. In this paper, we determine $HL_2(stl_n(R))$ explicitly (which are shown to be not necessarily…

We calculate the structure of the finitely-generated groups H_2(SL_2(Z[1/m])) when m is a multiple of 6. We construct explicit homology classes which generate these groups and have prescribed orders. When n is at least 2 and m is the…

We complete the solution of the problem of finding the universal central extension of the matrix superalgebras $\mathfrak{sl}(m, n, A)$ where $A$ is an associative superalgebra and computing $H_2\big(\mathfrak{sl}(m, n, A)\big)$. The…

We calculate the homology of three families of 2-step nilpotent Lie (super)algebras associated with the symplectic, orthogonal, and general linear groups. The symplectic case was considered by Getzler and the main motivation for this work…

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…

Let $(R,{}^-)$ be an arbitrary unital associative superalgebra with superinvolution over a commutative ring $\Bbbk$ with $2$ invertible. The second homology of the generalized periplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}_m(R,{}^-)$ for…

The cohomology groups of Lie superalgebras and, more generally, of color Lie algebras, are introduced and investigated. The main emphasis is on the case where the module of coefficients is non-trivial. Two general propositions are proved,…

We study central extensions of the Lie superalgebra $sl_{m|n}(A)$, where $A$ is a $Z/2Z$-graded superalgebra over a commutative ring $K$. The Steinberg Lie superalgebra $st_{m|n}(A)$ plays a crucial role. We show that $st_{m|n}(A)$ is a…

In this paper, all (super)algebras are over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic different from $2, 3$. We construct the so-called 5-sequences of cohomology for central extensions of a Lie superalgebra and prove that they are exact. Then…

The key ingredient of this paper is the universal central extension of the generalized orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}_{m|2n}(R,{}^-)$ coordinatized by a unital associative superalgebra $(R,{}^-)$ with superinvolution. Such…

Let ${\mathfrak g}$ be a classical simple Lie superalgebra. In this paper, the author studies the cohomology groups for the subalgebra $\mathfrak{n}^{+}$ relative to the BBW parabolic subalgebras constructed by D. Grantcharov, N.…

Using techniques developed in a recent article by the authors, it is proved that the 2-cohomology of the Lie superalgebra sl(m|1); m > 1, with coefficients in its enveloping algebra is trivial. The obstacles in solving the analogous problem…

We first prove that, for any generalized Hamiltonian type Lie algebra $L$, the first cohomology group $H^1(L,L \otimes L)$ is trivial. We then show that all Lie bialgebra structures on $L$ are triangular.

Hom-Lie superalgebras, which can be considered as a deformation of Lie superalgebras, are $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalization of Hom-Lie algebras. In this paper, we prove that there is only the trivial Hom-Lie superalgebra structure over a…

This is an old paper put here for archeological purposes. We derive a general formula expressing the second homology of a Lie algebra of the form L\otimes A with coefficients in the trivial module through homology of $L$, cyclic homology of…

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 show that the poset of non-trivial partitions of 1,2,...,n has a fundamental homology class with coefficients in a Lie superalgebra. Homological duality then rapidly yields a range of known results concerning the integral representations…

Restricted Heisenberg Lie superalgebras are studied over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 2. We use the ordinary 1- and 2-cohomology spaces with trivial coefficients to compute the restricted 2-cohomology spaces. As an…
