Central extensions of current algebras
  This is an old paper put here for archeological purposes. We compute the second cohomology of current Lie algebras of the form $L\otimes A$, where $L$ belongs to some class of Lie algebras which includes classical simple and Zassenhaus algebras, and of some modular semisimple Lie algebras. The results are largely superseded by subsequent papers, though, perhaps, some tricks and observations used here remain of minor interest.
