[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00080.] A nonassociative algebra with multiplication \(xy\) is termed Lie- admissible in case the new algebra \(A^ -\) defined on \(A\) with the new multiplication \([x,y]=xy-yx\) is a Lie algebra. Flexible Lie-admissible algebras were introduced by \textit{A. A. Albert} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 64, 552-593 (1948; Zbl 0033.154)] and are characterized by the fact that for any \(x\), the map \(y\mapsto [x,y]\) is a derivation. For a good account of the theory of these algebras see the book of \textit{H. C. Myung} [Mal'cev- admissible algebras (Birkhäuser, 1986; Zbl 0609.17009)] and the references therein. In this paper, the authors introduce the second cohomology groups for a Lie-admissible or flexible Lie-admissible algebra in a bimodule, following the standard procedures. Deformations of these algebras are discussed, bearing in mind classical examples of rings of polynomials, power series or \(C^ \infty\) functions on a manifold.
