Deformations and cohomology theory of $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebras of arbitrary weight

Abstract

In this paper, we firstly construct an $L_\infty[1]$-algebra via the method of higher derived brackets, whose Maurer-Cartan elements correspond to relative $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebras structures of weight $\lambda$. For a relative $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebra of weight $\lambda$, the corresponding twisted $ L_{\infty}[1] $-algebra controls its deformations, which leads to the cohomology theory of relative $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebras of weight $\lambda$. Moreover, we also obtain the corresponding results for absolute $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebras of weight $\lambda$ from the relative version. At last, we study formal deformations of relative (resp. absolute) $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebras of weight $\lambda$, which can be explained by the lower degree cohomology groups.
