Deformations and Extensions of BiHom-alternative algebras

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to deal with BiHom-alternative algebras which are a generalization of alternative and Hom-alternative algebras, their structure is defined with two commuting multiplicative linear maps. We study cohomology and one-parameter formal deformation theory of left BiHom-alternative algebras. Moreover, we study central and $T_\theta$-extensions of BiHom-alternative algebras and their relationship with cohomology. Finally, we investigate generalized derivations and give some relevant results.
