| + | --> Galilean group -> Bargmann group# | ||
| + | |||
| + | The classical Galilean group needs to be extended by the introduction of a central charge, called //mass//, and this yields the Bargmann group. (This is shown very nicely in QUANTIZATION ON A LIE GROUP: HIGHER-ORDER POLARIZATIONS by V. Aldaya, J. Guerrero and G. Marmo). | ||

| - | --> Example2:# | + | --> SO(3) -> SU(2)# |
| + | |||
| + | The standard spatial rotation group $SO(3)$ needs to be extended by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, which yields $SU(2)$, because otherwise we are not able to describe spin $\frac{1}{2}$ particles. | ||

| + | --> Mickelsson-Faddeev algebra# | ||
| + | The algebra of fermionic non-Abelian charge densitites needs to be extended to the Mickelsson-Faddeev algebra (See [[http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/76653/37286|this answer]]) | ||
