We know that the spin group $Spin(N)$ has a short exact sequence of Lie groups
$$1 \to Z_2 \to Spin(N) \to SO(N) \to 1\textrm{.}$$
I wonder whether there are some examples for $SU(N)$ and $SO(N)$ groups
such that there exists an exact sequence as
Q1. $$1 \to ? \to SU(N) \to ? \to 1$$
-
Q2. $$1 \to ? \to SO(N) \to ? \to 1$$
Here I am interested to know the case where the question marks are nontrivial non-Abelian Lie groups.
In particular, I am interested to know when
$SU(N)$ is $SU(4)$ and $SU(5)$
and when
$SO(N)$ is $SO(8)$, $SO(9)$, and $SO(10)$.
Reference is very welcome. Thank you. :-)
