Hom-Lie algebra structures on semi-simple Lie algebras

Hom-Lie algebras can be considered as a deformation of Lie algebras. In this note, we prove that the hom-Lie algebra structures on finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras are trivial. We find when a finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebra admits non-trivial hom-Lie algebra structures and the isomorphic classes of non-trivial hom-Lie algebras are determined.
