On central extensions of simple differential algebraic groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider central extensions ZhookrightarrowEwoheadrightarrowG in the category of linear differential algebraic groups. We show that if G is simple non-commutative and Z is unipotent with the differential type smaller than that of G, then such an extension splits. We also give a construction of central extensions illustrating that the condition on differential types is important for splitting. Our results imply that non-commutative almost simple linear differential algebraic groups, introduced by Cassidy and Singer, are simple.
