Relationship between non-abelian tensor products and universal extensions.

Abstract

We construct homology with trivial coefficients of Hom-Leibniz $n$-algebras. We introduce and characterize universal ($\alpha$)-central extensions of Hom-Leibniz $n$-algebras. In particular, we show their interplay with the zeroth and first homology with trivial coefficients. When $n=2$ we recover the corresponding results on universal central extensions of Hom-Leibniz algebras. The notion of non-abelian tensor product of Hom-Leibniz $n$-algebras is introduced and we establish its relationship with the universal central extensions. We develop a generalization of the concept and properties of unicentral Leibniz algebras to the setting of Hom-Leibniz $n$-algebras.
