Universal Central Extensions

Abstract. We show that the canonical central extension of the group of sections of a Lie group bundle over a compact manifold, constructed by Neeb and Wockel (2009), is universal. In doing so, we prove universality of the corresponding central extension of Lie algebras in a slightly more general setting.

Universal Central Extensions

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 introduce and study n-point Virasoro algebras, [Formula: see text], which are natural generalizations of the classical Virasoro algebra and have as quotients multipoint genus zero Krichever–Novikov type algebras. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the latter two such Lie algebras to be isomorphic. Moreover we determine their automorphisms, their derivation algebras, their universal central extensions, and some other properties. The list of automorphism groups that occur is Cn, Dn, A4, S4 and A5. We also construct a large class of modules which we call modules of densities, and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be irreducible.

AbstractThe present paper deals with the Lie triple systems via Leibniz algebras. A perfect Lie algebra as a perfect Leibniz algebra and as a perfect Lie triple system is considered and the appropriate universal central extensions are studied. Using properties of Leibniz algebras, it is shown that the Lie triple system universal central extension is either the universal central extension of the Leibniz algebra or the universal central extension of the Lie algebra.

Let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Then we have the algebraic curve [Formula: see text], and its coordinate algebras (the Riemann surfaces) [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] The Lie algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are called the [Formula: see text]th superelliptic Lie algebras associated to [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for such Lie algebras to be simple, and determine their universal central extensions and their derivation algebras. We also study the isomorphism and automorphism problem for these Lie algebras, which will help to understand the birational equivalence of some algebraic curves of the form [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe show that for a locally free $C^{\infty }$-action of a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group on a compact manifold, if every real-valued cocycle is cohomologous to a constant cocycle, then the action is parameter rigid. The converse is true if the action has a dense orbit. Using this, we construct parameter rigid actions of simply connected nilpotent Lie groups whose Lie algebras admit rational structures with graduations. This generalizes the results of dos Santos [Parameter rigid actions of the Heisenberg groups. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.27(2007), 1719–1735] concerning the Heisenberg groups.

Universal Central Extensions

In the category of Hom-Leibniz algebras we introduce the notion of Hom-co-representation as adequate coefficients to construct the chain complex from which we compute the Leibniz homology of Hom-Leibniz algebras. We study universal central extensions of Hom-Leibniz algebras and generalize some classical results, nevertheless it is necessary to introduce new notions of α-central extension, universal α-central extension and α-perfect Hom-Leibniz algebra due to the fact that the composition of two central extensions of Hom-Leibniz algebras is not central. We also provide the recognition criteria for these kind of universal central extensions. We prove that an α-perfect Hom-Lie algebra admits a universal α-central extension in the categories of Hom-Lie and Hom-Leibniz algebras and we obtain the relationships between both of them. In case α = Id we recover the corresponding results on universal central extensions of Leibniz algebras.
