Cohomology and deformations of \(\mathcal{O}\)-operators on Hom-associative algebras (Q2136930)

This paper is based on the seminal work of R. Tang, C. Bai, L. Guo and Y. Sheng [\textit{R. Tang} et al., Commun. Math. Phys. 368, No. 2, 665--700 (2019; Zbl 1440.17015)]. The purpose of the authors is to introduce and study the cohomology theory of \(\mathcal{O}\)-operators on Hom associative algebras. First, the authors review the relevant definitions and present preliminary results. Then they introduce the cohomology theory of \(\mathcal{O}\)-operators. Then they study infinitesimal and formal deformations of an \(\mathcal{O}\)-operator. Moreover, they show relevant constructions that twist objects on associative algebras to objects on Hom-associative algebras. They also introduce the notion of Nijenhuis elements corresponding to an \(\mathcal{O}\)-operator. Applications of these results are finally discussed.
