Central extensions of rank 2 groups and applications
We show that the universal central extensions of the little projective group of any Moufang polygon is precisely the Steinberg group obtained from its defining commutator relations, provided the defining structure is not too small. As an application, we get that also the universal central extensions of the little projective group of any 2-spherical Moufang twin building is precisely the Steinbe...
متن کاملNatural Central Extensions of Groups
Given a group G and an integer n ≥ 2 we construct a new group e K(G, n). Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of central extensions and the Schur multiplier. A surprising application is that Abelian groups of odd order possess naturally defined covers that can be computed from a given cov...
متن کاملSemiversal Central Extensions of Groups
We generalise the concept of universal central extensions for perfect groups to arbitrary finite groups. This construction, called the semiversal central extension of the group, has the property that it contains every cover of this group as a subquotient.
متن کاملUniversal Locally Finite Central Extensions of Groups
DEFINITION. A group G is called a universal locally finite central extension of A provided that the following conditions are satisfied. (i) A <= (G (the centre of G). (ii) G is locally finite. (iii) (/1-injectivity). Suppose that A <= B <= D with A a (D, that D/A is finite, and that q>: B -> G is an ^-isomorphism (that is, q>{a) = a for all as A). Then there exists an extension q>: D -*• G of (...
متن کاملCentral Extensions of Gauge Groups Revisited
We present an explicit construction for the central extension of the group Map(X, G) where X is a compact manifold and G is a Lie group. If X is a complex curve we obtain a simple construction of the extension by the Picard variety Pic(X). The construction is easily adapted to the extension of Aut(E), the gauge group of automorphisms of a nontrivial vector bundle E.
