Deformation maps on quasi-twilled Lie conformal algebras
Abstract
In this paper, we develop a unified approach for various operators on Lie conformal algebras. Given a quasi-twilled Lie conformal algebra , we introduce two dual families of operators: \emph{right deformation maps} and \emph{left deformation maps} . Each family simultaneously subsumes several classical structures: modified -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 -algebra governing right deformation maps and an -algebra governing left deformation maps, with Maurer-Cartan elements precisely characterizing each type. We further develop the associated deformation theories via twisted -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.
