Loop group two-cocycle for U(1)
ID: loop-group-two-cocycle-for-u-1
Write a loop as with smooth real periodic and its mean. For the level-one representation with modes filled below zero and , choose implementers , where increases charge by one, , and . Their product differs from by the displayed two-cocycle. Its phase is bilinear, which verifies the cocycle identity; integer makes it independent of the ambiguity in . Rephasing implementers changes it by a group coboundary.
