Cohomology and deformations of Jacobi-Jordan algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we define and develop a cohomology and deformation theories of Jacobi-Jordan algebras. We construct a cohomology based on two operators, called zigzag cohomology, and detail the low degree cohomology spaces. We describe the relationships between first and second cohomology groups with extensions and deformations. Moreover, we consider cohomology properties of pseudo-euclidean Jacobi-Jordan algebras and provide a deformation theory that fits with our zigzag cohomology of Jacobi-Jordan algebras. Furthermore, the paper includes several examples and applications.
