Abstract

For a connected symplectic manifold, we determine the universal
central extension of the Lie algebra of hamiltonian vector fields.
We classify the central extensions of ham(X), of the Lie algebra sp(X) of symplectic vector fields, of the Poisson Lie algebra, and of its
compactly supported version.
