Description
We classify non-trivial (non-central) extensions of the group
$Diff^+(S^1)$ of all diffeomorphisms of the circle preserving its
orientation and of the Lie algebra $Vect (S^1)$ of vector fields on
$S^1$, by the modules of tensor-densities on $S^1$. The result is: 4
non-trivial extensions of $Diff^+(S^1)$ and 7 non-trivial extensions of
$Vect (S^1)$. Analogous results hold for the Virasoro group and the
Virasoro algebra. We also classify central extensions of constructed Lie
algebras. CPT-94/P.3024
