Cohomology and deformation theory of Reynolds--Nijenhuis associative algebras
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and study Reynolds--Nijenhuis operators on associative algebras a novel hybrid structure that simultaneously satisfies the defining identities of both Reynolds and Nijenhuis operators. We investigate their connections with Rota-Baxter and modified Rota-Baxter operators. We develop a representation theory for Reynolds--Nijenhuis associative algebras and introduce a corresponding cohomology theory. Furthermore, we establish a one-parameter formal deformation theory for these algebras, examining the role of infinitesimals, rigidity, and equivalence in the context of deformations.
