Lie algebras of vector fields and related (super) algebras (17B66) Infinite-dimensional Lie groups and their Lie algebras: general properties (22E65) Loop groups and related constructions, group-theoretic treatment (22E67)

Abstract: We describe natural abelian extensions of the Lie algebra $aut(P)$ of infinitesimal automorphisms of a principal bundle over a compact manifold $M$ and discuss their integrability to corresponding Lie group extensions. Already the case of a trivial bundle $P=MimesK$ is quite interesting. In this case, we show that essentially all central extensions of the gauge algebra $C^{i}nfty(M,fk)$ can be obtained from three fundamental types of cocycles with values in one of the spaces $fz:=C^{i}nfty(M,V)$, $Omeg{a}^1(M,V)$ and $Omeg{a}^1(M,V)/dd{C}^{i}nfty(M,V)$. These cocycles extend to $aut(P)$, and, under the assumption that $TM$ is trivial, we also describe the space $H^2(calV(M),fz)$ classifying the twists of these extensions. We then show that all fundamental types have natural generalizations to non-trivial bundles and explain under which conditions they extend to $aut(P)$ and integrate to global Lie group extensions.
