Representations and cohomologies of regular Hom-pre-Lie algebras.

In this paper, first we study dual representations and tensor representations of Hom-pre-Lie algebras. Then we develop the cohomology theory of regular Hom-pre-Lie algebras in terms of the cohomology theory of regular Hom-Lie algebras. As applications, we study linear deformations of regular Hom-pre-Lie algebras, which are characterized by the second cohomology groups of regular Hom-pre-Lie algebras with the coefficients in the regular representations. The notion of a Nijenhuis operator on a regular Hom-pre-Lie algebra is introduced which can generate a trivial linear deformation of a regular Hom-pre-Lie algebra. Finally, we introduce the notion of a Hessian structure on a regular Hom-pre-Lie algebra, which is a symmetric nondegenerate 2-cocycle with the coefficient in the trivial representation. We also introduce the notion of an 𝒪 -operator on a regular Hom-pre-Lie algebra, by which we give an equivalent characterization of a Hessian structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
