Abstract: In this paper we discuss finite presentability of the universal central extensions of Lie algebras $mathfrak{sl}_n(R)$, where $ngeq3$ and $R$ is a unital associative $k$-algebra. We show that a universal central extension is finitely presented if and only if the algebra $R$ is finitely presented.

Review text

The main result of the paper is the following theorem. Let \(k\) be a commutative associative ring, let \(n\geq 3\) and let \(R\) be a finitely generated unital associative \(k\)-algebra. Then \(R\) being finitely presented as a \(k\)-algebra is equivalent to \(\widehat{sl}_n(R)\) being finitely presented as a Lie algebra over \(k\).
