We describe all central extensions of all $3$-dimensional non-zero complex Zinbiel algebras. As a corollary, we have a full classification of $4$-dimensional non-trivial complex Zinbiel algebras and a full classification of $5$-dimensional non-trivial complex Zinbiel algebras with $2$-dimensional annihilator, which gives the principal step in the algebraic classification of $5$-dimensional Zinbiel algebras.
This is an old paper put here for archeological purposes. We compute the second cohomology of current Lie algebras of the form $Lotimes A$, where $L$ belongs to some class of Lie algebras which includes classical simple and Zassenhaus algebras, and of some modular semisimple Lie algebras. The results are largely superseded by subsequent papers, though, perhaps, some tricks and observations used here remain of minor interest.
We present the classification of a subclass of $n$-dimensional naturally graded Zinbiel algebras. This subclass has the nilindex $n-3$ and the characteristic sequence $(n-3,2,1).$ In fact, this result completes the classification of naturally graded Zinbiel algebras of nilindex $n-3.$
In this work nul-filiform and filiform Zinbiel algebras are described up to isomorphism. Moreover, the classification of complex Zinbiel algebras is extended from dimensions $leq 3$ up to the dimension $4.$
In this paper we describe central extensions of some nilpotent Leibniz algebras. Namely, central extensions of the Leibniz algebra with maximal index of nilpotency are classified. Moreover, non-split central extensions of naturally graded filiform non-Lie Leibniz algebras are described up to isomorphism. It is shown that $k$-dimensional central extensions ($kgeq 5$) of these algebras are split.
