Orthogonal polynomials and the centres of the universal central extensions of superelliptic Krichever--Novikov algebras
Abstract
We study the universal central extensions of the derivation and current algebras of a superelliptic curve um=P(x), for P palindromic of degree 2r. Both centres are finite-dimensional and canonically isomorphic. On the derivation side the dimension is known at every covering degree, while reducing an arbitrary class has been done only for the double cover m=2; we do it at every m. The spanning classes split into r(m−1) chains, each an associated ultraspherical family whose parameters come from the sector and the residue, and we determine which chains carry a positive orthogonality measure. For quadratic P we evaluate the mixed cocycle in closed form, as a combination of two Legendre antiderivatives, at every pair of generators of total index at least three.
