Deformations of Loday-type algebras and their morphisms (Q1996052)

Following \textit{J.-L. Loday} [Lect. Notes Math. 1763, 7--66 (2001; Zbl 0999.17002)] the author introduced ``a class of algebras giving rise to a non-symmetric operad with a multiplication'' and calls them algebras of Loday-type. This class contains many well-known types of associative algebras related to planar trees, including dialgebras, trialgebras, and others (cf. [\textit{J.-L. Loday} and \textit{M. Ronco}, Contemp. Math. 346, 369--398 (2004; Zbl 1065.18007); \textit{M. Aguiar} and \textit{J.-L. Loday}, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 191, No. 3, 205--221 (2004; Zbl 1097.17002)]). Similar to Gerstenhaber's deformation theory developed for associative algebras, the author studies formal deformations of algebras of Loday-type and their twisted analogs using deformations of multiplication in an operad. Thus, among other things, he explicitly describes the cohomology of these algebras with coefficients in their representations, studies deformations of morphisms between algebras of the same Loday-type, etc.
