Abstract

In this paper, we develop a unified approach for various operators on Lie conformal algebras. Given a quasi-twilled Lie conformal algebra (\Ep,\Vs,\Ws)(\Ep,\Vs,\Ws), we introduce two dual families of operators: \emph{right deformation maps} D:\Vs\WsD:\Vs\to\Ws and \emph{left deformation maps} B:\Ws\VsB:\Ws\to\Vs. Each family simultaneously subsumes several classical structures: modified rr-matrices, crossed homomorphisms, derivations, and Lie conformal algebra homomorphisms in the right case, relative Rota-Baxter operators, twisted Rota-Baxter operators, Reynolds operators, and deformation maps of matched pairs in the left case. Using Voronov's derived bracket method, we construct the controlling homotopy algebras: a curved LL_\infty-algebra governing right deformation maps and an LL_\infty-algebra governing left deformation maps, with Maurer-Cartan elements precisely characterizing each type. We further develop the associated deformation theories via twisted LL_\infty-algebras and define cohomology complexes for both types of deformation maps, recovering and extending the cohomologies of all classical and conformal operators already developed in the literature.
