Generalized Hom–Lie–Rinehart algebras

Abstract

The first-order Hom-differential operators on a commutative Hom-associative algebra with unit are introduced. We describe Hom–Lie algebra associated with a module of first-order Hom-differential operators. We give the notion of a generalized Hom–Lie–Rinehart algebra and we show the characterization of generalized Hom–Lie–Rinehart algebras in terms of Hom–Gerstenhaber–Jacobi algebras. We prove the necessary and sufficient condition to obtain a generalized Hom–Lie–Rinehart algebra structure on a Hom–Lie algebroid.
