Homogeneous Symplectic Spaces and Central Extensions
Andrew Beckett
Abstrak
We summarise recent work (arXiv:2203.07405 [math.SG]) on the classical result of Kirillov that any simply-connected homogeneous symplectic space of a connected group $G$ is a hamiltonian $\widehat{G}$-space for a one-dimensional central extension $\widehat{G}$ of $G$, and is thus (by a result of Kostant) a cover of a coadjoint orbit of $\widehat{G}$. We emphasise that existing proofs in the literature assume that $G$ is simply-connected and that this assumption can be removed by application of a theorem of Neeb. We also interpret Neeb's theorem as relating the integrability of one-dimensional central extensions of Lie algebras to the integrability of an associated Chevalley--Eilenberg 2-cocycle.
