Maurer-Cartan type cohomology on generalized Reynolds operators and NS-structures on Lie triple systems

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of generalized Reynolds operators on Lie triple systems with representations (Abbr. \textsf{L.t.sRep} pairs) as generalization of weighted Reynolds operators on Lie triple systems. First, We construct an $L_{\infty}$-algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are generalized Reynolds operators. This allows us to define a Yamaguti cohomology of a generalized Reynolds operator. This cohomology can be seen as the Yamaguti cohomology of a certain Lie triple system with coefficients in a suitable representation. Next, we study deformations of generalized Reynolds operators from cohomological points of view and we investigate the obstruction class of an extendable deformation of order $n$. We end this paper by introducing a new algebraic structure, in connection with generalized Reynolds operator, called NS-Lie triple system. Moreover, we show that NS-Lie triple systems can be derived from NS-Lie algebras.
