Cohomology of nonabelian embedding tensors on Hom-Lie algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize known results of nonabelian embedding tensor to the Hom setting. We introduce the concept of Hom-Leibniz-Lie algebra, which is the basic algebraic structure of nonabelian embedded tensors on Hom-Lie algebras and can also be regarded as a nonabelian generalization of Hom-Leibniz algebra. Moreover, we define a cohomology of nonabelian embedding tensors on Hom-Lie algebras with coefficients in a suitable representation. The first cohomology group is used to describe infinitesimal deformations as an application. In addition, Nijenhuis elements are used to describe trivial infinitesimal deformations.
