$\mathcal{O}$-operators and related structures on Leibniz algebras

Abstract

An $\mathcal{O}$-operator has been used to extend a Leibniz algebra by its representation. In this paper, we investigate several structures related to $\mathcal{O}$-operators on Leibniz algebras and introduce (dual) $\mathcal{O}$N-structures on Leibniz algebras associated to their representations. It is proved that $\mathcal{O}$-operators and dual $\mathcal{O}$N-structures generate each other under certain conditions. It is also shown that a solution of the strong Maurer-Cartan equation on the twilled Leibniz algebra gives rise to a dual $\mathcal{O}$N-structure. Finally, $r-n$ structures, RBN-structures and $\mathcal{B}N$-structures on Leibniz algebras are thoroughly studied and their interdependent relations are also studied.
