BiHom-Lie superalgebra structures and BiHom-Yang-Baxter equations (Q2190816)

As generalizations of Lie algebras, Hom-Lie algebras were introduced motivated by applications to physics and to deformations of Lie algebras, especially Lie algebras of vector fields. The notion of Hom-Lie algebras was firstly introduced by Hartwig, Larsson and Silvestrov to describe the structure of certain $q$-deformations of the Witt and the Virasoro algebras in [\textit{J. T. Hartwig} et al., J. Algebra 295, No. 2, 314--361 (2006; Zbl 1138.17012)]. More precisely, a Hom-Lie algebras are different from Lie algebras as the Jacobi identity is replaced by a twisted form using a morphism. This twisted Jacobi identity is called Hom-Jacobi identity given by \[ [\alpha(x),[y,z]] + [\alpha(y),[z,x]] + [\alpha(z),[x,y]] = 0. \] In [J. Algebra 324, No. 7, 1513--1528 (2010; Zbl 1258.17008)], \textit{F. Ammar} and \textit{A. Makhlouf} introduced the notion of Hom-Lie superal- gebras, they gave a classification of Hom-Lie admissible superalgebras and proved a graded version of Hartwig-Larsson-Silvestrov Theorem. Later, Ammar, Makhlouf and Saadaoui [\textit{F. Ammar} et al., Czech. Math. J. 63, No. 3, 721--761 (2013; Zbl 1299.17018)] studied the representation and the cohomology of Hom-Lie superalgebras, and calculated the derivations and the second cohomology group of $q$-deformed Witt superalgebra. In [J. Lie Theory 23, No. 4, 1115--1128 (2013; Zbl 1362.17057)], \textit{B. Cao} and \textit{L. Luo} studied Hom-Lie superalgebra structures on finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras, while Yuan, Sun and Liu considered Hom-Lie superalgebra structures on infinite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras in [\textit{J. Yuan} et al., J. Geom. Phys. 84, 1--7 (2014; Zbl 1382.17014)]. The classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE) first arose in the study of inverse scattering theory. It plays an important role in many fields in mathematical physics, including quantum groups, quantum integrable systems, braided categories and invariants of knots and links. In [J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 45, No. 6, Article ID 065203, 23 p. (2012; Zbl 1241.81110)], \textit{D. Yau} extended the notion of the Yang-Baxter equation to the Hom-Yang-Baxter equation (HYBE) and constructed several solutions, where the identity map in the classical Yang-Baxter equation is replaced by the twist map $\alpha$. In this paper, the authors first introduced the notion of BiHom-Lie superalgebras, which is a generalization of both BiHom-Lie algebras and Hom-Lie superalgebras. Also, they explored some general classes of BiHom-Lie admissible superalgebras and describe all these classes via $G$-BiHom-associative superalgebras, where $G$ is a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_3$. Furthermore, they discussed the concept of $\beta^k$-derivation of BiHom-Lie superalgebras and prove that the set of all $\beta^k$-derivation has a natural BiHom-Lie superalgebra structure. Finally, they obtained a method to construct the solutions of the BiHom-Yang-Baxter equation from BiHom-Lie superalgebras.
