Lie 3-algebras and deformations of relative Rota-Baxter operators on 3-Lie algebras (Q2214116): Difference between revisions

Given a representation of a 3-Lie algebra, the authors construct a Lie 3-algebra, whose Maurer-Cartan elements are relative Rota-Baxter operators on the 3-Lie algebra. The authors define the cohomology of relative Rota-Baxter operators on 3-Lie algebras, by which they study deformations of relative Rota-Baxter operators. They show that if two formal deformations of a relative Rota-Baxter operator on a 3-Lie algebra are equivalent, then their infinitesimals are in the same cohomological class in the first cohomology group. Moreover, the extendability of an order \(n\) deformation to an order \(n + 1\) deformation is given by a cohomology class in the second cohomology group.
