The cohomology of left-symmetric conformal algebra and its applications

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a cohomology theory of a left-symmetric conformal algebra and study its some applications. We define the cohomology of a left-symmetric conformal algebra, and then give an isomorphism between the cohomology spaces of the left-symmetric conformal algebra and its sub-adjacent Lie conformal algebra. As applications of the cohomology theory, we study linear deformations, formal $1$-parameter deformations, $T^*$-extensions of a left-symmetric conformal algebra respectively and obtain some properties.
