Abstract Both original and twisted Schrodinger-Virasoro algebras, and also their deformations were
introduced and investigated in a series of papers by Henkel, Roger and Unterberger. In the present
paper we aim at determining the 2-cocycles of original deformative Schr
odinger-Virasoro algebras.

Introduction
Both original and twisted Schrodinger-Virasoro algebras, and also their deformations were introduced by Henkel[1, 2] , Unterberger[2, 3] and Roger[3], in the context of non-equilibrium statistical
physics, closely related to both Schrodinger Lie algebras and the Virasoro Lie algebra, which
are known to be important in many areas of mathematics and physics (e.g., statistical physics).
Unterberger[4] constructed the explicit non-trivial vertex algebra representations of the original sector. Later the derivation algebra and automorphism group of the twisted sector were
determined (cf. [5]). Almost at the same time, the derivations, central extensions and automorphism group of the extended sector were investigated by Gao, Jiang and Pei[6] . Furthermore,
irreducible modules with finite-dimensional weight subspaces and indecomposable modules over
both original and twisted sectors were considered, and the second cohomology group of a class
of twisted deformative sectors was determined by the authors[7, 8] .
The infinite-dimensional Lie algebras L, (, C) considered in this paper called the
original deformative Schr
odinger-Virasoro Lie algebras (cf. [3]), possess the same C-basis

for v1 , v2 , v3 L, . Denote the vector space of 2-cocycles on L, by C 2 (L, , C). For any
C-linear function f : L, C, define a 2-cocycle f as follows:
f (v1 , v2 ) = f ([v1 , v2 ]),
v1 , v2 L, ,

which is usually called a 2-coboundary or a trivial 2-cocycle on L, . Denote the vector space
of 2-coboundaries on L, by B 2 (L, , C). A 2-cocycle is said to be equivalent to a 2-cocycle
if is trivial. For a 2-cocycle , we denote the equivalent class of by []. The quotient
space H2 (L, , C) = C 2 (L, , C)/B 2 (L, , C) is called the second cohomology group of L, .
Usually one calls a 2-cocycle on L, the Virasoro cocycle, denoted by Vir , if

Let = f Vir where f and Vir are respectively defined in (1.5) and (1.6), then
(Lm , Ln ) = 0, m, n Z.

The proof of Theorem 1.1 is included in the following three technical lemmas.

(2.5)
For any p, q 12 + Z, using the Jacobi identity on the triple (L0 , Yp , Yq ), together with (2.4),
we obtain (p + q + 2)(Yp , Yq ) = 0, which together with our assumption
/ 12 Z forces
(Yp , Yq ) = 0.
(2.6)
For any m, n Z, p 12 + Z, using the Jacobi identity on the four triples (Lm , Yp , L0 ),
(Lm , Mn , L0 ), (Yp , Mn , L0 ) and (Mm , Mn , L0 ) in (1.4) respectively, one has
(m + p + ) (Lm , Yp ) = 0,
(2.7)
(m + n + 2) (Lm , Mn ) = 0,
(2.8)
(p + n + 3) (Yp , Mn ) = 0,

Similar to the proof of Subcase 1.3 given in [8], one also has
(Mm , Mn ) = 0, m, n Z.

Lemma 2.2.
For any C, = 0 unless the following subcases:
(i) if = 1, then (Mm , Ym3 ) = (M0 , Y3 ), (Lm , Ym ) = m(m+1)
(L1 , Y1 );

(ii) if = 3, then (Lm , Ym ) = (L0 , Y );
(iii) if = 1, then (Lm , Ym ) = m(m2 1)c1 , (Ym , Ym ) = m(m2 1)c1 ,
(Lm , Mm2 ) = m(m2 1)c1 ; for any m Z, and some constants c1 , c1 C.
Proof.
(L1 , Y1 ) = 0 if = 3,
(L0 , Mn ) = 0 if n = 2,
(L1 , M21 ) = 0 if = 1.

For any m, n Z, p, q 12 + Z, using the Jacobi identity on the triples (L0 , Yp , Mm ), (L0 , Mm ,
Mn ), (L0 , Yp , Yq ), (L0 , Lm , Mn ) and (L0 , Lm , Yp ) in (1.4) respectively, together with (2.13)
and (2.14), one has
(p + m + 3)(Yp , Mm ) = 0,
(2.15)
(m + n + 4)(Mm , Mn ) = 0,
(2.16)
(2.17)
(2.18)
(2.19)
For any m Z, p 12 + Z, p = 2 m
2 , using the Jacobi identity on the triple (Yp4 , Ypm ,
Mm ), one has (m + 2p 4)(Mm4 , Mm ) = 0, which together with (2.16), gives
(Mm , Mn ) = 0, m, n Z.
(2.20)
(2.21)
( L0 , Y ) = 0 if = 3.
(2.22)
From (2.4), (2.15) and (2.20)(2.22), the left components we have to present in this case are
listed in the following ( n Z, p 12 + Z):
(Yn , Ln ), (L2n , Mn ), (Y2p , Yp ) and (Mn , Yn3 ).

1993
For any m, n Z, using the Jacobi identity on the triple (Lnm , Yn3 , Mm ), one has
2(m( 1 + ) + 2 n)(Mn , Yn3 )
= (4 + (3 + )n ( + 1)m)(Mm , Ym3 ).
If = 0, taking m = 0 in (2.23), one has

(2.35)
(2.36)
(2.37)
Taking (Lm , Ym ) and (L1m , Ym1 ) obtained from (2.37) back to (2.35), one has
m(2m 3)(2 + 4 + 3)
(L1 , Y1 ) = 0, m Z,
2 + 4 5
(2.38)
which forces (since the index m can be shifted and our assumption = 3) (2 + 4 + 3)
(L1 , Y1 ) = 0. In other words, the system consisting of linear equations (2.35) and (2.36) has
nonzero solutions
if and only if = 1 under our assumption ( + 5)( 1)( + 3) = 0.
(2.39)
(2.40)
(2.41)
(Lm , Ym ) =
If = 1, then (2.35) becomes
1995
m(m2 1)c1 if m 2 1,
(Lm , Ym ) =
(2.42)
(2.43)
for some constants c1 , c2 C. One thing left to be done is to investigate the relations between
the constants c1 and c2 . If = 1, then (2.36) becomes
(m + 2n)(Lm , Ym ) = (2m + n)(Ln , Yn ) + (m n)(Lnm , Ym+n ),
(m n)(Lmn , Ym+n ) = (2m + n)(Ln , Yn ) + (m + 2n)(Lm , Ym ),
which together with each other force
(2m + n)((Ln , Yn ) + (Ln , Yn )) = 0.
(2.44)
Then using (2.43) and (2.44), we obtain c1 = c2 , which together with (2.43) gives
(Lm , Ym ) = m(m2 1)c1 , m Z.
(2.45)
(2.46)
(2.48)
If
/ {5, 3, 1, 1}, the identities (2.37) and (2.38) together also force (2.48) to hold.
Step 3. The computation of (L2n , Mn ), n Z
Using the Jacobi identity on (L2m , Ln , Mmn ), m, n Z, we obtain
(m + 2n(1 + ))(Lm2 , Mm ) (m + 2 + n)(Lnm2 , Mmn )
= ((m + 2)(1 + ) n)(Ln , Mn2 ).

Then using the same arguments given in Lemma 2.2 of [8], we obtain the following results.

by (2.21), which can be rewritten as
(Lm2 , Mm ) = 0, m Z.
(2.54)
(Lm2 , Mm ) = 0, m Z.

(2.60)
(2.61)
(2.62)
for some constant c1 C. Using (2.53), (2.62) and (2.56), we obtain (Y , Y ) = 0. Then
(2.62) can be rewritten as
(Ym , Ym ) = m(m2 1)c1 ,
m Z .
(2.63)
If
/ {1, 0, 1}, using (2.55) and (2.57) with n = 0, we obtain
m(1 + )(Ym , Ym ) = m(3 + )(Y , Y ),
which gives
(Ym , Ym ) =

(Y , Y ),

m Z .

One has

(L0 , Mn ) = 0, if n = 2, (L1 , M21 ) = 0 if = 1.
(L0 , Yp ) = 0, p

one has

(2.66)
(2.67)
(p + q + 2)(Yp , Yq ) = (m + n + 2)(Lm , Mn ) = 0,
(2.68)
(2.69)
Similarly, one also can prove that (2.20) holds in this case. Then from (2.66)(2.69), the left
components we have presented in this case are listed in the following (where m is an arbitrary
integer):
(Y2m , Ym )
and (L2m , Mm ),

for some constant c C. Taking (Lm2 , Mm ) and (Yp , Yp2 ) respectively given in (2.52)

If
/ {1, 0, 1}, using (2.55), one can rewrite (2.70) as (taking m = 1)
(2p 2 1 )(Y1p , Yp+12 ) = (2p 2 + 3 + )(Yp , Yp2 ).
Similarly, one also can deduce that (2.65) holds in this case. Then this lemma follows.
Then the lemma proves Theorem 1.1 (vi).
