In this paper, we study the universal central extension of a Lie–Rinehart algebra and we give a description of it. Then we study the lifting of automorphisms and derivations to central extensions. We also give a definition of a non-abelian tensor product in Lie–Rinehart algebras based on the construction of Ellis of non-abelian tensor product of Lie algebras. We relate this non-abelian tensor product to the universal central extension.

In this paper, we study an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra ℬq, called the q-analog Klein bottle Lie algebra. We show that ℬq is a finitely generated simple Lie algebra with a unique (up to scalars) symmetric invariant bilinear form. The derivation algebra and the universal central extension of ℬq are also determined.

An affine Kac–Moody algebra is a central extension of the Lie algebra of smooth mappings from S1 to the complexification of a Lie algebra. In this paper, we shall introduce a central extension of the Lie algebra of smooth mappings from S3 to the quaternization of a Lie algebra and investigate its root space decomposition. We think this extension of current algebra might give a mathematical tool for four-dimensional conformal field theory as Kac–Moody algebras give it for two-dimensional conformal field theory.
