Abstract

The Bott-Thurston cocycle is a $2$-cocycle on the group of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle. We introduce and study a formal analog of Bott-Thurston cocycle. The formal Bott-Thurston cocycle is a $2$-cocycle on the group of continuous $A$-automorphisms of the algebra $A((t))$ of Laurent series over a commutative ring $A$ with values in the group $A^*$ of invertible elements of $A$. We prove that the central extension given by the formal Bott-Thurston cocycle is equivalent to the $12$-fold Baer sum of the determinantal central extension when $A$ is a $\mathbb Q$-algebra. As a consequence of this result we prove a part of new formal Riemann-Roch theorem. This Riemann-Roch theorem is applied to a ringed space on a separated scheme $S$ over $\mathbb Q$, where the structure sheaf of the ringed space is locally on $S$ isomorphic to the sheaf ${\mathcal O}_S((t))$ and the transition automorphisms are continuous. Locally on $S$ this ringed space corresponds to the punctured formal neighbourhood of a section of a smooth morphism to $U$ of relative dimension $1$, where an open subset $U \subset S$.<br />Comment: 43 pages; corrected misprints
