Universal Central Extension of the Lie Algebra of Hamiltonian Vector Fields
Abstract
We determine the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of hamiltonian vector fields, thereby classifying its central extensions. Furthermore, we classify the central extensions of the Lie algebra of symplectic vector fields, of the Poisson Lie algebra, and of its compactly supported version.
