Extending Structures for n-Lie Algebras
Abstract
Motivated by the Casas-Loday-Pirashvili maps concerning representations of n-Leibniz algebras, we give an intrinsic characterization of the cohomology of n-Lie algebras with coefficient in a representation space V. We investigated the cohomology theory of n-Lie algebras in three different ways: cohomology theory of Leibniz algebras, infinitesimal deformation and abelian extension. In the main part of this paper, we solve the extending problems for n-Lie algebras. A necessary and sufficient unified-product criterion is obtained. The case of crossed products, sparse non-abelian extensions, matched pairs are studied as special cases. We also investigate the factorizations, deformation maps, and complements problem for n-Lie algebras. An appendix removes the general non-reduced unified product with all intermediate mixed components.
