Diassociative conformal algebras and their deformation cohomology

RESUMO

In this paper, we introduce diassociative conformal algebras that unify both associative conformal algebras and diassociative algebras. We show that the category of diassociative conformal algebras is equivalent to the category of equivalence classes of formal distribution diassociative algebras. By employing its Maurer-Cartan characterization, we then define the cohomology of a diassociative conformal algebra and show that it carries a Gerstenhaber algebra structure. Our cohomology can be used to study deformations and extensions of the structure. Finally, we define averaging operators on associative conformal algebras and find their close relations with diassociative conformal algebras.
