Abstract:
We consider the three-point loop algebra, where denotes a field of characteristic 0 and is an indeterminate. The universal central extension of was determined by Bremner. In this note, we give a presentation for via generators and relations, which highlights a certain symmetry over the alternating group . To obtain our presentation of , we use the realization of as the tetrahedron Lie algebra.
