Deformations and cohomologies of embedding tensors on 3-Lie algebras

In this paper, first we introduce the notion of an embedding tensor on a 3-Lie algebra, which naturally induces a 3-Leibniz algebra. Using the derived bracket, we construct a Lie 3-algebra, whose Maurer-Cartan elements are embedding tensors. Consequently, we obtain the $L_{\infty}$-algebra that governs deformations of embedding tensors. We define the cohomology theory for embedding tensors on 3-Lie algebras. As applications, we show that if two formal deformations of an embedding tensor on a 3-Lie algebra are equivalent, then their infinitesimals are in the same cohomology class in the second cohomology group. Moreover, an order n deformation of an embedding tensor is extendable if and only if the obstruction class, which is in the third cohomology group, is trivial.

$3$-post-Lie algebras and relative Rota-Baxter operators of nonzero weight on $3$-Lie algebras

In this paper, first we introduce the notions of relative Rota-Baxter operators of nonzero weight on $3$-Lie algebras and $3$-post-Lie algebras. A 3-post-Lie algebra consists of a 3-Lie algebra structure and a ternary operation such that some compatibility conditions are satisfied. We show that a relative Rota-Baxter operator of nonzero weight induces a $3$-post-Lie algebra naturally. Conversely, a $3$-post-Lie algebra gives rise to a new 3-Lie algebra, which is called the subadjacent 3-Lie algebra, and an action on the original 3-Lie algebra. Then we construct an $L_\infty$-algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are relative Rota-Baxter operators of nonzero weight. Consequently, we obtain the twisted $L_\infty$-algebra that controls deformations of a given relative Rota-Baxter operator of nonzero weight on 3-Lie algebras. Finally, we introduce a cohomology theory for a relative Rota-Baxter operator of nonzero weight on $3$-Lie algebras and use the second cohomology group to classify infinitesimal deformations.

Cohomology and the controlling algebra of crossed homomorphisms on 3-Lie algebras

In this paper, first we give the notion of a crossed homomorphism on a 3-Lie algebra with respect to an action on another 3-Lie algebra, and characterize it using a homomorphism from a Lie algebra to the semidirect product Lie algebra. We also establish the relationship between crossed homomorphisms and relative Rota-Baxter operators of weight 1 on 3-Lie algebras. Next we construct a cohomology theory for a crossed homomorphism on 3-Lie algebras and classify infinitesimal deformations of crossed homomorphisms using the second cohomology group. Finally, using the higher derived brackets, we construct an $L_\infty$-algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are crossed homomorphisms. Consequently, we obtain the twisted $L_\infty$-algebra that controls deformations of a given crossed homomorphism on 3-Lie algebras.

Deformations of relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras

In this paper, we introduce the cohomology theory of relative Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. We use the cohomological approach to study linear and formal deformations of relative Rota-Baxter operators. In particular, the notion of Nijenhuis elements is introduced to characterize trivial linear deformations. Formal deformations and extendibility of order n deformations of a relative Rota-Baxter operator are also characterized in terms of the cohomology theory.

Nijenhuis operators on $n$-Lie algebras

In this paper, we study $(n-1)$-order deformations of an $n$-Lie algebra and introduce the notion of a Nijenhuis operator on an $n$-Lie algebra, which could give rise to trivial deformations. We prove that a polynomial of a Nijenhuis operator is still a Nijenhuis operator. Finally, we give various constructions of Nijenhuis operators and some examples.

$3$-$Lie_\infty$-algebras and $3$-Lie 2-algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notions of a $3$-$Lie_\infty$-algebra and a 3-Lie 2-algebra. The former is a model for a 3-Lie algebra that satisfy the fundamental identity up to all higher homotopies, and the latter is the categorification of a 3-Lie algebra. We prove that the 2-category of 2-term $3$-$Lie_\infty$-algebras is equivalent to the 2-category of 3-Lie 2-algebras. Skeletal and strict 3-Lie 2-algebras are studied in detail. A construction of a 3-Lie 2-algebra from a symplectic 3-Lie algebra is given.
