1 Introduction
A Rota-Baxter algebra is defined to be an associative algebra equipped with a linear map satisfying Rota-Baxter identity: , for all . This Rota-Baxter identity is also known as Rota-Baxter equation of weight , and is called the Rota-Baxter operator. Integration by parts is an example of a Rota–Baxter operator of weight . Though it has a natural connection with integral analysis, the Rota-Baxter algebra was not originated modeling this fact of integral analysis, but was introduced by Glenn Baxter [baxter] in his probability study of fluctuation theory. In a series of papers, Rota [rota] derived some identities as well as gave some applications of Baxter algebra arising in probability and combinatorial theory. A (left) Leibniz algebra [loday93] is a vector space over a field F, equipped with a bilinear map satisfying the (left) Leibniz identity:
Leibniz algebras are often considered as non-commutative Lie algebras, since the Leibniz identity is equivalent to the Jacobi identity when the two-sided ideal coincides with . For this reason, a significant amount of research attempts to extend results on Lie algebras to Leibniz algebras. Derivations on algebraic structures were first started by Ritt [ritt] in the 1930s for commutative algebras and fields. The structure is called a differential (commutative) algebra. There is an enormous literature on this subject, including differential Galois theory, see [M94]. In recent times, there is a numerous studies on different type of algebras with derivations, see [das21], [guosaha], [TFS]. Similarly, degenerations of algebras is an interesting subject, which were studied in various papers, for the study of degenerations of Leibniz algebras and related structures, see [KPPV], [IKV19], [KP19]. As Rota-Baxter operator is a kind of generalization of integral operator, therefore, it is natural to consider algebras with Rota-Baxter operator analogous to algebras with differentials. Jiang and Sheng [JS] studied cohomology and abelian extensions of relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras. In [Guo], the authors studied cohomology theory of Rota-Baxter Pre-Lie algebras of arbitrary weights. Tang, Sheng and Zhou [TSZ] studied deformation theory of relative Rota-Baxter operator on Leibniz algebras. Recently, Das, Hazra, and Mishra [Das] studied Rota-Baxter Lie algebras from cohomological point of view. In this paper, our object of study is Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra. A Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra is a Leibniz algebra equipped with a Rota-Baxter operator . We denote a Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra by the notation . In this paper, we first define a representation of a Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra. Given a Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra , one can define a new bracket such that is also Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra. Now using this fact, if be a Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra and be a representation of it, we get a new Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra with representation induced by the Rota-Baxter operator. We consider the Loday-Pirashvili cochain complex of this induced Leibniz algebra with representation to define the cohomology of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras. In the nth cochain group, we have two parts, one for Leibniz algebra and another one for the Rota-Baxter operator. In this paper, we also discuss dual representation a Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra and nilpotent Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra and obtain some interesting results. Next, we study one-parameter formal deformation theory of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra following Gerstenhaber’s [G63], [G64] classical deformation theory for associative algebras. We study the the problem of extending a given deformation of order to a deformation of order and define the associated obstruction. We also study rigidity conditions for formal deformations. Finally, we define an abelian extension of a Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra and show that how equivalence classes of such extensions are related to the cohomology groups. This paper is organized as follows: In section 2, we recall Rota-Baxter operator, Leibniz algebra and its representation which we will use throughout the paper. In Section 3, we discuss some structural aspect of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras, also we discuss dual representation and nilpotent Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras. In Section 4, we introduce the cohomology group of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra. In Section 5, we define Gerstenhaber’s formal deformation theory of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras and showed that the cohomology defined in 4 is a deformation cohomology. In the final Section, we discuss abelian extension and its relation with cohomology of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras.
2 Preliminaries
Let us recall the following basic definitions from [Das], [Loday], [Mandal], [Sheng].
Definition 2.1.
A Leibniz algebra is a vector space together with a bilinear operation (called the bracket) satisfying the following identity
It is denoted by
The above definition of Leibniz algebra is in fact the definition of left Leibniz algebra. In this paper, we will consider left Leibniz algebra simply as Leibniz algebra. Leibniz algebras are generalization of Lie-algebra. Any Lie algebra is a Leibniz algebra. A Leibniz algebra which satisfies for all is a Lie algebra.

5 Deformations of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras
In this section, we study a one-parameter formal deformation of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra. We denote the bracket by
Definition 5.1.
