Abstract

The aim of this paper is to extend to Hom-algebra structures the theory of 1-parameter formal deformations of algebras which was introduced by Gerstenhaber for associative algebras and extended to Lie algebras by Nijenhuis and Richardson. In this paper, formal deformations of Hom-associative and Hom-Lie algebras are studied. The first groups of a deformation cohomology are constructed and several examples of deformations are given. We also provide families of Hom-Lie algebras deforming Lie algebra sl(2)(K) and describe as formal deformations the q-deformed Witt algebra and Jackson sl(2)(K).
