Connections on central extensions, lifting gerbes, and finite-dimensional obstruction vanishing

Given a central extension of Lie groups, we study the classification problem of lifting the structure group together with a given connection. For reductive structure groups we introduce a connective structure on the lifting gerbe associated to this problem. Our main result classifies all connections...
