A representation theory for Bol algebras is proposed. For a suitable (2,3)-cohomology theory for Bol algebras, we define a (2,3)-coboundary with companion and next we define a (2,3)-cohomology group. Deformations of Bol algebras are investigated. In particular, one-parameter infinitesimal deformations of Bol algebras are characterized in terms of Bol algebras of deformation type and (2,3)-cocycles with coefficients in the adjoint representation. The (2,3)-cohomology group is also applied to study abelian extensions of Bol algebras.
Keywords: Representation, cohomology, deformation, abelian extension, Bol algebra.
