%0 Journal Article %T Central extensions of loop groups and obstruction to pre-quantization %A Derek Krepski %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X An explicit construction of a pre-quantum line bundle for the moduli space of flat G-bundles over a Riemann surface is given, where G is any non-simply connected compact simple Lie group. This work helps to explain a curious coincidence previously observed between Toledano-Laredo's work classifying central extensions of loop groups LG and the author's previous work on the obstruction to pre-quantization of the moduli space of flat G-bundles. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1004.2278v2
