In this paper, we define a class of 3-algebras which are called 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras. A 3-Lie-Rinehart algebra is a triple $(L, A, rho)$, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra, $L$ is an $A$-module, $(A, rho)$ is a 3-Lie algebra $L$-module and $rho(L, L)subseteq Der(A)$. We discuss the basic structures, actions and crossed modules of 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras and construct 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras from given algebras, we also study the derivations from 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras to 3-Lie $A$-algebras. From the study, we see that there is much difference between 3-Lie algebras and 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras.
After endowing with a 3-Lie-Rinehart structure on Hom 3-Lie algebras, we obtain a class of special Hom 3-Lie algebras, which have close relationships with representations of commutative associative algebras. We provide a special class of Hom 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras, called split regular Hom 3-Lie-Rinehart algebras, and we then characterize their structures by means of root systems and weight systems associated to a splitting Cartan subalgebra.
We introduce the notion of 3-Hom-Lie-Rinehart algebra and systematically describe a cohomology complex by considering coefficient modules. Furthermore, we consider extensions of a 3-Hom-Lie-Rinehart algebra and characterize the first cohomology space in terms of the group of automorphisms of an $A$-split abelian extension and the equivalence classes of $A$-split abelian extensions. Finally, we study formal deformations of 3-Hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras.
After recalling the notion of Lie algebroid, we construct these structures associated with contact forms or systems. We are then interested in particular classes of Lie Rinehart algebras.
In this paper, first we introduce the notion of a twisted Rota-Baxter operator on a 3-Lie algebra $g$ with a representation on $V$. We show that a twisted Rota-Baxter operator induces a 3-Lie algebra structure on $V$, which represents on $g$. By this fact, we define the cohomology of a twisted Rota-Baxter operator and study infinitesimal deformations of a twisted Rota-Baxter operator using the second cohomology group. Then we introduce the notion of an NS-3-Lie algebra, which produces a 3-Lie algebra with a representation on itself. We show that a twisted Rota-Baxter operator induces an NS-3-Lie algebra naturally. Thus NS-3-Lie algebras can be viewed as the underlying algebraic structures of twisted Rota-Baxter operators on 3-Lie algebras. Finally we show that a Nijenhuis operator on a 3-Lie algebra gives rise to a representation of the deformed 3-Lie algebra and a 2-cocycle. Consequently, the identity map will be a twisted Rota-Baxter operator on the deformed 3-Lie algebra. We also introduce the notion of a Reynolds operator on a 3-Lie algebra, which can serve as a special case of twisted Rota-Baxter operators on 3-Lie algebras.
In this paper, first we introduce the notion of a twilled 3-Lie algebra, and construct an $L_infty$-algebra, whose Maurer-Cartan elements give rise to new twilled 3-Lie algebras by twisting. In particular, we recover the Lie $3$-algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are O-operators (also called relative Rota-Baxter operators) on 3-Lie algebras. Then we introduce the notion of generalized matched pairs of 3-Lie algebras using generalized representations of 3-Lie algebras, which will give rise to twilled 3-Lie algebras. The usual matched pairs of 3-Lie algebras correspond to a special class of twilled 3-Lie algebras, which we call strict twilled 3-Lie algebras. Finally, we use O-operators to construct explicit twilled 3-Lie algebras, and explain why an $r$-matrix for a 3-Lie algebra can not give rise to a double construction 3-Lie bialgebra. Examples of twilled 3-Lie algebras are given to illustrate the various interesting phenomenon.
