Abstract: In this paper we develop an abstract setup for hamiltonian group actions as follows: Starting with a continuous 2-cochain $omega$ on a Lie algebra $h$ with values in an $h$-module $V$, we associate subalgebras $sp(h,omega)supeqham(h,omega)$ of symplectic, resp., hamiltonian elements. Then $ham(h,omega)$ has a natural central extension which in turn is contained in a larger abelian extension of $sp(h,omega)$. In this setting, we study linear actions of a Lie group $G$ on $V$ which are compatible with a homomorphism $goham(h,omega)$, i.e. abstract hamiltonian actions, corresponding central and abelian extensions of $G$ and momentum maps $J:goV$.
