Cohomologies of modified $λ$-differential Lie triple systems and applications
Wen Teng, Fengshan Long, Yu Zhang
TL;DR
This work develops a cohomology framework for modified $\lambda$-differential Lie triple systems, integrating Lie triple systems with a weight-$\lambda$ differential operator. It defines representations, adjoint and dual structures, and a semidirect product to study modules, and constructs a Yamaguti-based cohomology $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{mDLts^\lambda}}^*$ using a cochain map $\Phi$ and the coboundary $\delta$. The theory then governs deformations and abelian extensions through the third cohomology $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{mDLts^\lambda}}^3$, with infinitesimals as $3$-cocycles and rigidity/extension classification arising from vanishing or nontrivial cohomology. Overall, the paper generalizes Lie triple systems with derivations to the modified $\lambda$-differential setting, providing a unified approach to deformation and extension problems with substantial algebraic and geometric implications.
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept and representation of modified $λ$-differential Lie triple systems. Next, we define the cohomology of modified $λ$-differential Lie triple systems with coefficients in a suitable representation. As applications of the proposed cohomology theory, we study 1-parameter formal deformations and abelian extensions of modified $λ$-differential Lie triple systems.
