Abstract We describe the space of central extensions of the associative algebra Ψ n of formal pseudo-differential symbols in n ≥ 1 independent variables using Hochschild (co)homology groups: we prove that the first Hochschild (co)homology group H H 1 ( Ψ n ) is 2n-dimensional and we use this fact to calculate the first Lie (co)homology group H L i e 1 ( Ψ n ) of Ψ n equipped with the Lie bracket induced by its associative algebra structure. As an application, we use our calculations to provide examples of infinite-dimensional quadratic symplectic Lie algebras.
