Biderivations and commuting linear maps on Hom-Lie algebras

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine skew-symmetric biderivations $\text{Bider}_{\text{s}}(L, V)$ and commuting linear maps $\text{Com}(L, V)$ on a Hom-Lie algebra $(L,\alpha)$ having their ranges in an $(L,\alpha)$-module $(V, \rho, \beta)$, which are both closely related to $\text{Cent} (L, V)$, the centroid of $(V, \rho, \beta)$. Specifically, under appropriate assumptions, every $\delta\in\text{Bider}_{\text{s}}(L, V)$ is of the form $\delta(x,y)=\beta^{-1}\gamma([x,y])$ for some $\gamma\in \text{Cent} (L, V)$, and $\text{Com}(L, V)$ coincides with $\text{Cent} (L, V)$. Besides, we give the algorithm for describing $\text{Bider}_{\text{s}}(L, V)$ and $\text{Com}(L, V)$ respectively, and provide several examples.
