review text: The paper under review presents a finite dimensional Leibniz algebra that is geometrically rigid, but not algebraically rigid, and hence represents a non-reduced point in the variety of Leibniz algebra laws. Let $k$ be a characteristic zero, algebraically closed field, such as the complex numbers. Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over $k$. A left Leibniz algebra structure on $V$ is given by an element $\mu \in \Hom_k ( V^{\otimes 2}, V)$ that is a derivation from the left, meaning that \[ \mu (x, \mu (y, z)) = \mu (\mu (x, y), z) + \mu( y, \mu (x, z)) \] for all $x$, $y$, $z \in V$. Often $\mu (x, y)$ is written $[x, y]$, although the bracket in a Leibniz algebra is not necessarily skew-symmetric. All such elements $\mu \in \Hom_k ( V^{\otimes 2}, V)$ form an algebraic variety, $\mathcal{M}$. Now, $\mathrm{GL}(V)$ acts on $\mathcal{M}$ by \[ (g \cdot \mu)(x, y) = g \mu (g^{-1}x, g^{-1} y), \] where $g \in \mathrm{GL}(V)$ and $\mu \in \mathcal{M}$. The quotient ${\mathcal{M}}/\mathrm{GL}(V)$ is the space of Leibniz algebra laws, and $\mu$ is geometrically rigid if its $\mathrm{GL}V)$ orbit is open in the Zariski topology. A Leibniz algebra $\mathfrak{h}$ with structure map $\mu$ is called algebraically rigid if $HL^2( \mathfrak{h}; \mathfrak{h}) = 0$, where $HL^* (\mathfrak{h}; \mathfrak{h})$ denotes Leibniz cohomology with adjoint coefficients. Recall [\textit{D. Balavoine}, Commun. Algebra 24, No. 3, 1017--1034 (1996; Zbl 0855.17021)] that a point $\mathfrak{h}$ in the space of Leibniz algebra laws is reduced and geometrically rigid if and ony if $HL^2 ( \mathfrak{h}; \mathfrak{h}) = 0$. To produce the non-reduced point in the Leibniz algebra case, the authors use ideas from [\textit{R. W. Richardson jun.}, Pac. J. Math. 22, 339--344 (1967; Zbl 0166.30301)], where examples of non-reduced points $\mathfrak{g}$ in the variety of Lie algebra laws that are geometrically rigid but satisfy $H^2_{\mathrm{Lie}}( \mathfrak{g}; \mathfrak{g}) \neq 0$ are given.
