We compare by a very elementary approach the second adjoint and trivial Leibniz cohomology spaces of a Lie algebra to the usual ones. Examples are given of coupled cocycles. Some properties are deduced as to Leibniz deformations. We also consider the class of Lie algebras for which the Koszul 3-form is zero, and prove that it contains all quotients of Borel subalgebras, or of their nilradicals, of finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebras. Finally, a list of Kac-Moody types for indecomposable nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension $\leqslant 7$ is given.
In this article, we introduce a deformation cohomology of Leibniz superalgebras. Also, we introduce formal deformation theory of Leibniz superalgebras. Using deformation cohomology we study the formal deformation theory of Leibniz superalgebras.
In this paper, we introduce the concept of crossed module for Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart algebras. We study the cohomology and extension theory of Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart algebras. It is proved that there is one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of abelian extensions of Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart algebras and the elements of second cohomology group. Furthermore, we prove that there is a natural map from $α$-crossed modules extension of Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart algebras to the third cohomology group of Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart algebras.
We study finite group actions on Leibniz algebras, define equivariant cohomology groups associated to such actions. We show that there exists a cup-product operation on this graded cohomology groups which makes it a graded zinbiel algebra.
In this paper, we introduce the first and third cohomology groups on Leibniz triple systems, which can be applied to extension theory and $1$-parameter formal deformation theory. Specifically, we investigate the central extension theory for Leibniz triple systems and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between equivalent classes of central extensions of Leibniz triple systems and the third cohomology group. We study the $T^*$-extension of a Leibniz triple system and we determined that every even-dimensional quadratic Leibniz triple system $(\mathfrak{L},B)$ is isomorphic to a $T^*$-…
We introduce the notion of H-standard cohomology for Courant-Dorfman algebras and Leibniz algebras, by generalizing Roytenberg's construction. Then we generalize a theorem of Ginot-Grutzmann on transitive Courant algebroids, which was conjectured by Stienon-Xu. The relation between H-standard complexes of a Leibniz algebra and the associated crossed product is also discussed.
In this paper, we define the cohomology of a modified Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra with coefficients in a suitable representation. As applications of our cohomology, we study formal one-parameter deformations and abelian extensions of modified Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras.
In this paper, we construct a differential graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by crossed homomorphisms on Leibniz algebras. This allows us to define cohomology for a crossed homomorphism. Finally, we study linear deformations, formal deformations and extendibility of finite order deformations of a crossed homomorphism in terms of the cohomology theory.
In this paper we prove some general results on Leibniz 2-cocycles for simple Leibniz algebras. Applying these results we establish the triviality of the second Leibniz cohomology for a simple Leibniz algebra with coefficients in itself, whose associated Lie algebra is isomorphic to $\mathfrak{sl}_2$.
Recently, relative Rota-Baxter (Lie/associative) algebras are extensively studied in the literature from cohomological points of view. In this paper, we consider relative Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras (rRB Leibniz algebras) as the object of our study. We construct an $L_\infty$-algebra that characterizes rRB Leibniz algebras as its Maurer-Cartan elements. Then we define representations of an rRB Leibniz algebra and introduce cohomology with coefficients in a representation. As applications of cohomology, we study deformations and abelian extensions of rRB Leibniz algebras.
The aim of this paper is to study the cohomology of Hom-Leibniz superalgebras. We construct the $q$-deformed Heisenberg-Virasoro superalgebra of Hom-type and provide as application the computations of the derivations and second cohomology group. Moreover, we extend to graded case the Takhtajan's construction of a cohomology of $n$-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras starting from cohomology of Hom-Leibniz algebras.
In this paper we prove the Leibniz analogue of Whitehead's vanishing theorem for the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of Lie algebras. As a consequence, we obtain the second Whitehead lemma for Leibniz algebras. Moreover, we compute the cohomology of several Leibniz algebras with adjoint or irreducible coefficients. Our main tool is a Leibniz analogue of the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence, which is an extension of (the dual of) a spectral sequence of Pirashvili for Leibniz homology from symmetric bimodules to arbitrary bimodules.
The purpose of this paper is to study global deformations of Hom-Leibniz algebras. We introduce a cohomology for Hom-Leibniz algebras with values in a Hom-module, characterize versal deformations and provide examples.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a cohomology of $n$-Hom-Leibniz algebras. Moreover, we study some higher operations on cohomology spaces and deformations.
The notion of pre-Leibniz algebras was recently introduced in the study of Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. In this paper, we first construct a graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are pre-Leibniz algebras. Using this characterization, we define the cohomology of a pre-Leibniz algebra with coefficients in a representation. This cohomology is shown to split the Loday-Pirashvili cohomology of Leibniz algebras. As applications of our cohomology, we study formal and finite order deformations of a pre-Leibniz algebra. Finally, we define homotopy pre-Leibniz algebras and classif…
Aim of this paper is to define a new type of cohomology for multiplicative Hom-Leibniz algebras which controls deformations of Hom-Leibniz algebra structure. The cohomology and the associated deformation theory for Hom-Leibniz algebras as developed here are also extended to equvariant context, under the presence of finite group actions on Hom-Leibniz algebras.
In this paper, we introduce the cohomology theory of relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz triple systems. We use the cohomological approach to study linear and formal deformations of relative Rota-Baxter operators. In particular, formal deformations and extendibility of order $n$ deformations of a relative Rota-Baxter operators are also characterized in terms of the cohomology theory. We also consider the relationship between cohomology of relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras and associated Leibniz triple systems.
In this paper, we introduce twisted relative Rota-Baxter operators on a Leibniz algebra as a generalization of twisted Poisson structures. We define the cohomology of a twisted relative Rota-Baxter operator $K$ as the Loday-Pirashvili cohomology of a certain Leibniz algebra induced by $K$ with coefficients in a suitable representation. Then we consider formal deformations of twisted relative Rota-Baxter operators from cohomological points of view. Finally, we introduce and study NS-Leibniz algebras as the underlying structure of twisted relative Rota-Baxter operators.
In this paper, we introduce relative Rota-Baxter systems on Leibniz algebras and give some characterizations and new constructions. Then we construct a graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are relative Rota-Baxter systems. This allows us to define a cohomology theory associated with a relative Rota-Baxter system. Finally, we study formal deformations and extendibility of finite order deformations of a relative Rota-Baxter system in terms of the cohomology theory.
In this paper, we first construct the controlling algebras of embedding tensors and Lie-Leibniz triples, which turn out to be a graded Lie algebra and an $L_\infty$-algebra respectively. Then we introduce representations and cohomologies of embedding tensors and Lie-Leibniz triples, and show that there is a long exact sequence connecting various cohomologies. As applications, we classify infinitesimal deformations and central extensions using the second cohomology groups. Finally, we introduce the notion of a homotopy embedding tensor which will induce a Leibniz$_\infty$-algebra. We realize Ko…
We describe infinite-dimensional Leibniz algebras whose associated Lie algebra is the Witt algebra and we prove the triviality of low-dimensional Leibniz cohomology groups of the Witt algebra with the coefficients in itself.
The description of complex solvable Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is a naturally graded filiform algebra is already known. Unfortunately, a mistake was made in that description. Namely, in the case where the dimension of the solvable Leibniz algebra with nilradical $F_n^1$ is equal to $n+2$, it was asserted that there is no such algebra. However, it was possible for us to find a unique $(n+2)$-dimensional solvable Leibniz algebra with nilradical $F_n^1$. In addition, we establish the triviality of the second group of cohomology for this algebra with coefficients in itself, which implies it…
In this paper, we introduce the cohomology theory of relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. We use the cohomological approach to study linear and formal deformations of relative Rota-Baxter operators. In particular, the notion of Nijenhuis elements is introduced to characterize trivial linear deformations. Formal deformations and extendibility of order n deformations of a relative Rota-Baxter operator are also characterized in terms of the cohomology theory.
In this paper, we consider Leibniz algebras with derivations. A pair consisting of a Leibniz algebra and a distinguished derivation is called a LeibDer pair. We define a cohomology theory for LeibDer pair with coefficients in a representation. We study central extensions and abelian extensions of a LeibDer pair. In the next, we generalize the formal deformation theory to LeibDer pairs in which we deform both the Leibniz bracket and the distinguished derivation. It is governed by the cohomology of LeibDer pair with coefficients in itself. Finally, we consider homotopy derivations on sh Leibniz …
In the paper the class of all solvable extensions of a filiform Leibniz algebra in the infinite-dimensional case is classified. The filiform Leibniz algebra is taken as a maximal pro-nilpotent ideal of residually solvable Leibniz algebra. It is proven that the second cohomology group of the extension is trivial.
Leibniz algebras are non-skewsymmetric analogue of Lie algebras. In this paper, we consider weighted relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. We define cohomology of such operators and as an application, we study their deformations. Finally, we introduce and study post-Leibniz algebras as the structure behind weighted relative Rota-Baxter operators.
In this paper, first we construct a Lie 2-algebra associated to every Leibniz algebra via the skew-symmetrization. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of the naive representation for a Leibniz algebra in order to realize the abstract operations as a concrete linear operation. At last, we study some properties of naive cohomologies.
The goal of this paper is to present results which are consistent with conjectures about the Leibniz (co)homology for discrete groups stated by J. L. Loday. We show that rack cohomology has properties very close to the properties expected for the conjectural Leibniz cohomology. In particular, we prove the existence of a graded dendriform algebra structure on rack cohomology, and we construct a graded associative algebra morphism from group cohomology to rack cohomology which is injective in degree 1.
This paper details the Leibniz generalization of Lie-theoretic results from Peggy Batten's 1993 dissertation. We first show that the multiplier of a Leibniz algebra is characterized by its second cohomology group with coefficients in the field. We then establish criteria for when the center of a cover maps onto the center of the algebra. Along the way, we obtain a collection of exact sequences and a brief theory of unicentral Leibniz algebras.
In this paper we describe solvable Leibniz algebras whose quotient algebra by one-dimensional ideal is a Lie algebra with rank equal to the length of the characteristic sequence of its nilpotent radical. We prove that such Leibniz algebra is unique and centerless. Also it is proved that the first and the second cohomology groups of the algebra with coefficients in itself is trivial.
From the Levi's Theorem it is known that every finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is decomposed into semidirect sum of solvable radical and semisimple subalgebra. Moreover, semisimple part is the direct sum of simple ideals. In \cite{Bar} the Levi's theorem is extended to the case of Leibniz algebras. In the present paper we investigate the semisimple Leibniz algebras and we show that the splitting theorem for semisimple Leibniz algebras is not true. Moreover, we consider some special classes of the semisimple Leibniz algebras and find a condition under which th…
In this paper we identify the structure of complex finite-dimensional Leibniz algebras with associated Lie algebras $sl_2^1\oplus sl_2^2\oplus \dots \oplus sl_2^s\oplus R,$ where $R$ is a solvable radical. The classifications of such Leibniz algebras in the cases $dim R=2, 3$ and $dim I\neq 3$ have been obtained. Moreover, we classify Leibniz algebras with $L/I\cong sl_2^1\oplus sl_2^2$ and some conditions on ideal $I=id<[x,x] \ | \ x\in L>.$
The first aim of this paper is to introduce and study symmetric (Bi)Hom-Leibniz algebras, which are left and right Leibniz algebras. We discuss $α^kβ^l$-generalized derivations, $α^kβ^l$ -quasi-derivations and $α^kβ^l$-quasi-centroid of (Bi)Hom-Leibniz algebras and colour BiHom-Leibniz algebras. The second aim is to define a new type of BiHom-Lie algebras satisfies the following hierarchy \begin{equation*} \displaystyle \{ \text{ BiHom-Lie type $B_1$} \}\supseteq_{β=id} \{ \text{ Hom-Lie} \}\supseteq_{α=id} \{ \text{ Lie} \}. \end{equation*} Moreover, define representations and a cohomology of…
In this paper, first we classify non-abelian extensions of Leibniz algebras by the second non-abelian cohomology. Then, we construct Leibniz 2-algebras using derivations of Leibniz algebras, and show that under a condition on the center, a non-abelian extension of Leibniz algebras can be described by a Leibniz 2-algebra morphism. At last, we give a description of non-abelian extensions in terms of Maurer-Cartan elements in a differential graded Lie algebra.
The aim of this paper is to extend the notion of bialgebra for Leibniz algebras (and Lie algebras) to $3$-Leibniz algebras (and $3$-Lie algebras) by use of the cohomology complex of $3$-Leibniz algebras. Also, some theorems about Leibniz bialgebras are extended and proved in the case of $3$-Leibniz bialgebras ($3$-Lie bialgebras). Moreover, a new theorem on the correspondence between $3$-Leibniz bialgebra and its associated Leibniz bialgebra is proved. Finally, some examples are discussed in detail.
From relative Rota-Baxter operators and relative averaging operators on Lie algebras to relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras: a uniform approach
A subspace H of a Leibniz algebra L is called a quasi-ideal if [H;K] + [K;H] \subseteq H + K for every subspace K of L. They include ideals and subalgebras of codimension one in L. Quasi-ideals of Lie algebras were classified in two remarkable papers of Amayo. The objective here is to extend those results to the larger class of Leibniz algebras, and to classify those Leibniz algebras in which every subalgebra is a quasi-ideal.
In this note we define a notion of Courant pair as a Courant algebra over the Lie algebra of linear derivations on an associative algebra. We study formal deformations of Courant pairs by constructing a cohomology bicomplex with coefficients in a module from the cochain complexes defining Hochschild cohomology and Leibniz cohomology.
In this paper we describe some Leibniz algebras whose corresponding Lie algebra is four-dimensional Diamond Lie algebra $\mathfrak{D}$ and the ideal generated by the squares of elements (further denoted by $I$) is a right $\mathfrak{D}$-module. Using description \cite{Cas} of representations of algebra $\mathfrak{D}$ in $\mathfrak{sl}(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ and $\mathfrak{sp}(4,{\mathbb{F}})$ where ${\mathbb{F}}={\mathbb{R}}$ or ${\mathbb{C}}$ we obtain the classification of above mentioned Leibniz algebras. Moreover, Fock representation of Heisenberg Lie algebra was extended to the case of the alge…
The aim of this paper is to provide cohomologies of $n$-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras governing central extensions and one parameter formal deformations. We generalize to $n$-ary algebras the notions of derivations and representation introduced by Sheng for Hom-Lie algebras. Also we show that a cohomology of $n$-ary Hom-Nambu-Lie algebras could be derived from the cohomology of Hom-Leibniz algebras.
