Twisted O-operators on 3-Lie algebras and 3-NS-Lie algebras

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce twisted $\mathcal{O}$-operators on $3$-Lie algebras. We define a cohomology of a twisted $\mathcal{O}$-operator $T$ as the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of a certain $3$-Lie algebra induced by $T$ with coefficients in a suitable representation. Then we consider infinitesimal and formal deformations of twisted $\mathcal{O}$-operators from cohomological points of view. Furthermore, we introduce and study $3$-NS-Lie-algebras as the underlying structure of twisted $\mathcal{O}$-operators on $3$-Lie algebras. Finally, we investigate twisted $\mathcal{O}$-operators on $3$-Lie algebras induced by Lie algebras.
