Abstract: (WSP)
We show how the fundamental cocycles on current Lie algebras and the Lie algebra of symmetries for the sigma model are obtained via the current algebra functors introduced in [A. Alekseev and P. Severa, Equivariant cohomology and current algebras, Confluentes Math. 4 (2012) 1250001, 40 pp.]. We present current group extensions integrating some of these current Lie algebra extensions.
