Formal deformations and extensions of `twisted' Lie algebras
Abstract
The interplay between derivations and algebraic structures has been a subject of significant interest and exploration. Inspired by Yau's twist and the Leibniz rule, we investigate the formal deformation of twisted Lie algebras by invertible derivations, herein referred to as "InvDer Lie". We define representations of InvDer Lie, elucidate cohomology structures of order 1 and 2, and identify infinitesimals as 2-cocycles. Furthermore, we explore central extensions of InvDer Lie, revealing their intricate relationship with cohomology theory.
