On split regular Hom-Lie color algebras

Abstract

We introduce the class of split regular Hom-Lie color algebras as the natural generalization of split Lie color algebras. By developing techniques of connections of roots for this kind of algebras, we show that such a split regular Hom-Lie color algebra $L$ is of the form $L = U + \sum\limits_{[j] \in \Lambda/\sim}I_{[j]}$ with $U$ a subspace of the abelian graded subalgebra $H$ and any $I_{[j]}$, a well described ideal of $L$, satisfying $[I_{[j]}, I_{[k]}] = 0$ if $[j]\neq [k]$. Under certain conditions, in the case of $L$ being of maximal length, the simplicity of the algebra is characterized.
