Abstract:
Mainly motivated by Pirashvili’s spectral sequences on a Leibniz algebra, a cohomological characterization of Leibniz central extensions of Lie algebras is given. In particular, as applications, we obtain the cohomological version of Gao’s main theorem for Kac-Moody algebras and answer a question in an earlier paper by Liu and Hu (2004).References
