What's the geometrical meaning of the central extension of the algebra of diffeomorphisms of the circle? It is tough but i think you will be pleasantly surprised by the answer. Good Luck

This was funny the first time it was announced as the "hardest math problem in the world." It was funny the second time, the third time... maybe even the eight time. But it's getting old now, and people are abusing it's simplicity. If you want to actually read about diffeomorphisms, you should google Thomas Theimann.

Pleasantly surprised by the answer of a math problem? I think not.

Refresh my memory: what do you mean by THE central extension, as opposed to A central extension?
Either way, I'm interested to think about it or hear what you have to say.

I surely like to but it seemed to me that you left out some of the given. I could assume but I better not. If you would re-phrase your question and make it clearer, who knows may be I can help you. Until then good luck.

If it is truly impossible, why are you working on it?
