Abstract
Let be a grading-restricted vertex algebra and a -module. We show that for any , the first cohomology of with coefficients in introduced by the author is linearly isomorphic to the space of derivations from to . In particular, for are equal (and can be denoted using the same notation ). We also show that the second cohomology of with coefficients in introduced by the author corresponds bijectively to the set of equivalence classes of square-zero extensions of by . In the case that , we show that the second cohomology corresponds bijectively to the set of equivalence classes of first order deformations of .
