Hom-Leibniz algebra is a natural generalization of Leibniz algebras and Hom-Lie algebras. In this paper, we develop some structure theory (such as (co)homology groups, universal central extensions) of Hom-Leibniz algebras based on some works of Loday and Pirashvili.
We investigate the highest weight representations of the q-deformed Virasoro algebra of Hom-type. In order to determine its unitarity and irreducible highest weight representations, we present its Kac determinant formula when q is nonzero and non-root of unity.
In this paper, we categorify a Hom-associative algebra by imposing the Homassociative law up to some isomorphisms on the multiplication map and requiring that these isomorphisms satisfy the Pentagon axiom, and obtain a 2-Hom-associative algebra. On the other hand, we introduce the dual Hom-quasi-Hopf algebra and show that any dual Homquasi-Hopf algebras can be viewed as a 2-Hom-associative algebra.
