The twist-deformed conformal algebra is constructed as a Hopf algebra with twisted co-product. This allows for the definition of conformal symmetry in a non-commutative background geometry. The twisted co-product is reviewed for the…
It is shown that every multiplicative right Hom-alternative algebra is both Hom-power associative and Hom-Jordan admissible. Multiplicative right Hom-alternative algebras admit Albert-type decompositions with respect to idempotents.…
Non-commutative torsors (equivalently, two-cocycles) for a Hopf algebra can be used to twist comodule algebras. After surveying and extending the literature on the subject, we prove a theorem that affords a presentation by generators and…
We exhibit a connection between two constructions of twisted modules for a general vertex operator algebra with respect to inner automorphisms. We also study pseudo-derivations, pseudo-endomorphisms, and twist deformations of ordinary…
Transformation of operator algebras under Hopf algebra twist is studied. It is shown that that adjoint module algebras are stable under the twist. Applications to vector fields on non-commutative space-time are considered.
For the associative algebra $A(\mathfrak g)$ of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we introduce twisted fiber bundles over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by elements of algebraic…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the universal algebra theory of hom-algebras. This kind of algebra involves a linear map which twists the usual identities. We focus on hom-associative algebras and hom-Lie algebras for which we…
Algebraic deformations of modules over a ring are considered. The resulting theory closely resembles Gerstenhaber's deformation theory of associative algebras.
Motivated by logarithmic conformal field theory and Gromov-Witten theory, we introduce a notion of a twisted module of a vertex algebra under an arbitrary (not necessarily semisimple) automorphism. Its main feature is that the twisted…
A general deformation theory of algebras which factorise into two subalgebras is studied. It is shown that the classification of deformations is related to the cohomology of a certain double complex reminiscent of the Gerstenhaber-Schack…
In the paper we introduce the notion of twisted derivation of a bialgebra. Twisted derivations appear as infinitesimal symmetries of the category of representations. More precisely they are infinitesimal versions of twisted automorphisms of…
In this paper, we define a new cohomology theory for multiplicative Hom-pre-Lie algebras which controls deformations of Hom-pre-Lie algebra structure. This new cohomology is a natural one by considering the structure map. We develop…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce an algebraic cohomology and formal deformation theory of left alternative algebras. Connections to some other algebraic structures are given also.
We introduce a notion of a (V,T)-module over a vertex algebra V for an arbitrary positive integer T, which is a generalization of a twisted V-module. Under some conditions on V, we construct an associative algebra A^{T}_{m}(V) for…
This article is devoted to the investigation of the deformation (twisting) of monoidal structures, such as the associativity constraint of the monoidal category and the monoidal structure of monoidal functor. The sets of twistings have a…
In hom-associative structures, the associativity condition $(xy)z=x(yz)$ is twisted to $\alpha(x)(yz) = (xy)\alpha(z)$, with $\alpha$ a map in the appropriate category. In the present paper, we consider two different unitality conditions…
In order to solve two problems in deformation theory, we establish natural structures of homotopy Lie algebras and of homotopy associative algebras on tensor products of algebras of different types and on mapping spaces between coalgebras…
The aim of this paper is to give an overview and to compare the different deformation theories of algebraic structures. We describe in each case the corresponding notions of degeneration and rigidity. We illustrate these notions with…
Hom-Lie algebras are non-associative algebras generalizing Lie algebras by twisting the Jacobi identity by an endomorphism. The main examples are algebras of twisted derivations (i.e., linear maps with a generalized Leibniz rule). Such…
In this paper, we give a purely cohomological interpretation of the extension problem for associative algebras; that is the problem of extending an associative algebra by another associative algebra. We then give a similar interpretation of…
