Integrating central extensions of Lie algebras via Lie 2-groups

Christoph Wockel, Chenchang Zhu (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of étale Lie 2-groups in the sense of [Get09, Hen08]. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of Lie groups, a fact which is due to the vanishing of π 2 for each finite-dimensional Lie group. This fact was used by Cartan (in a slightly other guise) to construct the simply connected Lie group associated...

Poisson-Lie groupoids and the contraction procedure

Kenny De Commer (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

On the level of Lie algebras, the contraction procedure is a method to create a new Lie algebra from a given Lie algebra by rescaling generators and letting the scaling parameter tend to zero. One of the most well-known examples is the contraction from 𝔰𝔲(2) to 𝔢(2), the Lie algebra of upper-triangular matrices with zero trace and purely imaginary diagonal. In this paper, we will consider an extension of this contraction by taking also into consideration the natural bialgebra structures...
