Hom-Lie-Rinehart Algebras (1610.01477v3)
Published 5 Oct 2016 in math.KT, math.DG, and math.RA
Abstract: We introduce hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras as an algebraic analogue of hom-Lie algebroids, and systematically describe a cohomology complex by considering coefficient modules. We define the notion of extensions for hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras. In the sequel, we deduce a characterisation of low dimensional cohomology spaces in terms of the group of automorphisms of certain abelian extension and the equivalence classes of those abelian extensions in the category of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras, respectively. We also construct a canonical example of hom-Lie-Rinehart algebra associated to a given Poisson algebra and an automorphism.
