Cohomology and deformations of compatible Hom-Lie algebras (Q6178570)

Cohomology and deformations of a ring or an algebra has been a classical topic with a long history. The paper under review explores a cohomology and deformation theory for compatible Hom-Lie algebras which can be regarded as a hom-version of \textit{J. Liu} et al.'s recent work [Sci. China, Math. 66, No. 6, 1177--1198 (2023; Zbl 1528.17016)]. More precisely, the paper presents a characterization of compatible Hom-Lie algebras is framed within the context of Maurer-Cartan elements in a bidifferential graded Lie algebra. The paper further demonstrates the cohomology and deformation theory developed can be used to study abelian extensions of compatible Hom-Lie algebras.
