Quasi-bom-Lie algebras, central extensions and 2-cocycle-like identities
This paper introduces the notion of a quasi-hom-Lie algebra, or simply, a qhl-algebra, which is a natural generalization of hom-Lie algebras introduced in a previous paper [J.T. Hartwig, D. Larsson, S.D. Silvestrov, Deformations of Lie algebras using sigma-derivations, math. QA/0408064]. Quasi-hom-Lie algebras include also as special cases (color) Lie algebras and superalgebras, and can be seen as
