The second cohomology group for Kac-Moody Lie algebras and Kähler differentials (Q750588)

Let \({\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak g}(A)\) be a Kac-Moody algebra over the field k of characteristic 0. Let \({\mathfrak h}\) be a Cartan subalgebra and \({\mathfrak h}''=\oplus^{2n-\ell}_{i=n+1}k\alpha^{\vee}_ i\) a complement to \({\mathfrak h}'={\mathfrak g}'(A)\cap {\mathfrak h}\) (\(\ell\) is the rank of the \(n\times n\) matrix A). The author shows that \(H^ 2({\mathfrak g},k)\simeq \Lambda {\mathfrak h}^{''*}\). He also considers the case when k is a commutative ring, R an associative and commutative algebra free over k, \({\mathfrak g}_ R=R\otimes_ k{\mathfrak g}\). Then he shows \[ H^ 2({\mathfrak g}_ R,k)=R^*\otimes H^ 2({\mathfrak g},k)+(\Omega^ 1_{R|_{dR}})^*\otimes Hom_{{\mathfrak g}}({\mathfrak g},{\mathfrak g}^*), \] where \(\Omega^ 1_ R\) is the module of Kähler differentials of R over k.
