Omni-representations of Leibniz algebras

Abstract

In this paper, first we introduce the notion of an omni-representation of a Leibniz algebra $\g$ on a vector space $V$ as a Leibniz algebra homomorphism from $\g$ to the omni-Lie algebra $\gl(V)\oplus V$. Then we introduce the omni-cohomology theory associated to omni-representations and establish the relation between omni-cohomology groups and Loday-Pirashvili cohomology groups.
