The Cohomology of relative cocycle weighted Reynolds operators and NS-pre-Lie algebras

Abstract

Unifying various generalizations of the important notions of Reynolds operators, the relative cocycle weighted Reynolds operators are studied. Here cocycle weighted means the weight of the operators is given by a 2-cocycle rather than by a scaler as in the classical case. We show that the operators and 2-cocycles uniquely determine each other. We further give a characterization of relative cocycle weighted Reynolds operators in the context of pre-Lie algebras. Using a method of Liu, we construct an explicit graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by a relative cocycle weighted Reynolds operator. This allows us to construct the cohomology for a relative cocycle weighted Reynolds operator. This cohomology can also be seen as the cohomology of a certain pre-Lie algebra with coefficients in a suitable representation. Then we consider formal deformations of relative cocycle weighted Reynolds operators from cohomological points of view. Finally, we introduce the notation of NS-pre-Lie algebras and show NS-pre-Lie algebras naturally induce pre-Lie algebras and $L$-dendriform algebras.
