Lie algebras are algebraic structures which were introduced to study the concept of infinitesimal transformations. The term "Lie algebra" (after Sophus Lie) was introduced by Hermann Weyl in the 1930s. In older texts, the name "infinitesimal group" is used. Related mathematical concepts include Lie groups and differentiable manifolds.

2-cocycle on LSU(2)
I second André's comment that one cannot expect interesting, smooth 2-cocycles $\omega: LG \times LG \to S^1$. The situation for Lie groups is simply different to the one for Lie algebras: central Lie …

Is the restriction of the Cartan 3-form on conjugacy classes exact?
Yes, it is exact, and there is in fact a canonical 2-form on each conjugacy class whose derivative is your $\Omega$. This was an important observation when studying D-branes in WZW models, see, e.g. h …
