Deformations of Lie Algebras using -derivations

arXiv:math/0408064 · doi:10.1016/j.jalgebra.2005.07.036

Abstract

In this article we develop an approach to deformations of the Witt and Virasoro algebras based on -derivations. We show that -twisted Jacobi type identity holds for generators of such deformations. For the -twisted generalization of Lie algebras modeled by this construction, we develop a theory of central extensions. We show that our approach can be used to construct new deformations of Lie algebras and their central extensions, which in particular include naturally the -deformations of the Witt and Virasoro algebras associated to -difference operators, providing also corresponding q-deformed Jacobi identities.
