Abstract:
We construct canonically defined central extensions of groups of symplectomorphisms. We show that these central extensions are nontrivial for tori of dimension $\ge 6$ and for two-dimensional surfaces of genus $\ge 3$.
Key words and phrases:
Central extensions, symplectomorphisms, mapping class groups, Teichmüller group, Dehn twist, Calabi invariant, flux homomorphism.
