Abstract

Let D be a 2-dimensional closed unit disk and \rmSymp(D,0)_\rmrel the group of symplectomorphisms preserving the origin and the boundary ∂ D pointwise. We consider the ℝ-valued flux homomorphism on \rmSymp(D,0)_\rmrel and define the central ℝ-extension called the ℝ-valued flux extension. We determine the Euler class of this extension and investigate the relation between the extension, the group 2-cocycle defined by Ismagilov, Losik, and Michor, and the Calabi invariant of D.
