For any Fréchet Lie group \(G\) the central extensions of \(G\) by \(S^1\) play a pivotal role in the theory of \textit{projective unitary \(G\)-representations}. Every such representation gives rise to a central extension \(\hat{G}\), together with a \textit{linear} unitary \(\hat{G}\)-representation. Passing to the infinitesimal level, one finds informations on the projective \(G\)-representations from the (often more accesible) linear representation theory of the corresponding central Lie extensions \(\hat{\mathfrak{g}}\). However, when passing to the infinitesimal level, one main piece of information is lost since not every Lie algebra extension \(\hat{\mathfrak{g}}\rightarrow \mathfrak{g}\) integrates to a group extension \(\hat{G}\rightarrow G\). The ones that do determine a lattice \(\Lambda \subseteq H^2(\mathfrak{g}, \mathbb{R})\) in the continuous second Lie algebra cohomology of \(\mathfrak{g}\), called \textit{the lattice of integrable classes}. In the setting of quantomorphisms groups, the continuous second Lie algebra cohomology of the Poisson Lie algebra \(C^{\infty }(M)\) has been explicitely determined. Hence, it remains an open problem to determine the full lattice \(\Lambda \subseteq H^1(M, \mathbb{R})\) of integrable classes. The present paper contributes towards a solution by explicitely determining the sublattice \(\Lambda _0\subset \Lambda \) corresponding to the group extensions \(\hat{G}\rightarrow G\) described above.
