“…In the following, to simplify notations, we shall always denote (H , [·, ·] q , α q ) by (H , [·, ·], α). The structure and representation theory of the twisted HeisenbergVirasoro algebra were studied by Kac et al [1], Jiang et al [5,16], Liu and Zhu [12], etc. However, we may mention that in our case, because q is non-zero and nonroot of unity, the q-deformed Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra of Hom-type is not a Lie algebra, the structural constants are not linearly dependent on their gradings (in this case, the algebra is called nonlinear), and this renders the computation of low-dimensional cohomology group of the q-deformed Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra of Hom-type nontrivial.…”
