Cohomology and formal deformations of n-Hom-Lie color algebras

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a cohomology of $n$-Hom-Lie color algebras governing one parameter formal deformations. Then, we study formal deformations of a $n$-Hom-Lie color algebra and introduce the notion of Nijenhuis operator on an $n$-Hom-Lie color algebra, which could give rise to infinitesimally trivial $(n-1)$-order deformations. Furthermore, in connection with Nijenhuis operators we introduce and discuss the notion of a product structure on $n$-Hom-Lie color algebras.
