We introduce a class of novel $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-graded color superalgebras of infinite dimension. It is done by realizing each member of the class in the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie superalgebra which is a module…

We study homeomorphisms of the circle that are smooth diffeomorphisms away from a finite set of $n$ points. These "broken diffeomorphisms" do not form a Lie group, but instead naturally assemble into a Lie groupoid. We construct an explicit…

We discuss the higher dimensional generalizations of the Virasoro and Affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. We present an explicit construction for a central extensions of the Lie Algebra $Map (X, \g)$ where $\g$ is a finite-dimensional Lie…

We classify non-trivial (non-central) extensions of the group $Diff^+(S^1)$ of all diffeomorphisms of the circle preserving its orientation and of the Lie algebra $Vect (S^1)$ of vector fields on $S^1$, by the modules of tensor-densities on…

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…

We call a unital locally convex algebra $A$ a continuous inverse algebra if its unit group $A^\times$ is open and inversion is a continuous map. For any smooth action of a, possibly infinite-dimensional, connected Lie group $G$ on a…

In the present paper we study abelian extensions of connected Lie groups $G$ modeled on locally convex spaces by smooth $G$-modules $A$. We parametrize the extension classes by a suitable cohomology group $H^2_s(G,A)$ defined by locally…

In the first part of my talk I will explain a solution to the extension of Lie's problem on classification of "local continuous transformation groups of a finite-dimensional manifold" to the case of supermanifolds. (More precisely, the…

A central extension of the loop group of a Lie group is called transgressive, if it corresponds under transgression to a degree four class in the cohomology of the classifying space of the Lie group. Transgressive loop group extensions are…

The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of \'etale Lie 2-groups. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to…

The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of 2D conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an…

We present a three-dimensional geometric construction of the Virasoro-Bott group, which is a central extension of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. Our approach is analogous to the well-known construction of a central extension of…

In this paper, we study the derivations, the central extensions and the automorphism group of the extended Schrodinger-Virasoro Lie algebra, introduced by J. Unterberger in the context of two-dimensional conformal field theory and…

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…

Classical affine Lie algebras appear e.g. as symmetries of infinite dimensional integrable systems and are related to certain differential equations. They are central extensions of current algebras associated to finite-dimensional Lie…

If q : P -> M is a principal K-bundle over the compact manifold M, then any invariant symmetric V-valued bilinear form on the Lie algebra k of K defines a Lie algebra extension of the gauge algebra by a space of bundle-valued 1-forms modulo…

Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…

Given a complex semisimple Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ and a commutative ${\mathbb C}$-algebra $A$, let ${\mathfrak g}[A] = {\mathfrak g} \otimes A$ be the corresponding generalized current algebra. In this paper we explore questions…

In this paper we study non-abelian extensions of a Lie group $G$ modeled on a locally convex space by a Lie group $N$. The equivalence classes of such extension are grouped into those corresponding to a class of so-called smooth outer…

Let $(V,\gamma )$ be a real finite dimensional vector space with a symmetric bilinear form $\gamma $ whose kernel is spanned by a nonzero vector. The set of invertible real linear mappings of $(V, \gamma )$ into itself forms a Lie group…
