We prove that all n > 3 simple finite-dimensional Filippov algebras (FAs) are rigid as n-Leibniz algebras of this class. This rigidity also holds for the Leibniz deformations of the semisimple n = 2 Filippov (i.e., Lie) algebras. The n = 3 simple FAs, however, admit a nontrivial one-parameter infinitesimal 3-Leibniz algebra deformation. We also show that the n >= 3 simple Filippov algebras do not admit nontrivial central extensions as n-Leibniz algebras of the above class.", optnote="ISI:000287811800050", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=558), last updated on Thu, 25 Aug 2011 10:37:41 +0000", issn="0022-2488", doi="10.1063/1.3553797", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1009.2709", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3553797", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1009.2709", language="English" }
