$\mathcal{O}$-operators and Nijenhius operators of associative conformal algebras

Abstract

We study $\mathcal{O}$-operators of associative conformal algebras with respect to conformal bimodules. As natural generalizations of $\mathcal{O}$-operators and dendriform conformal algebras, we introduce the notions of twisted Rota-Baxter operators and conformal NS-algebras. We show that twisted Rota-Baxter operators give rise to conformal NS-algebras, the same as $\mathcal{O}$-operators induce dendriform conformal algebras. And we introduce a conformal analog of associative Nijenhius operators and enumerate main properties. By using derived bracket construction of Kosmann-Schwarzbach and a method of Uchino, we obtain a graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by $\mathcal{O}$-operators. This allows us to construct cohomology of $\mathcal{O}$-operators. This cohomology can be seen as the Hochschild cohomology of an associative conformal algebra with coefficients in a suitable conformal bimodule.
