Abstract
In this paper, we study deformations of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups by means of the cohomology which controls them. Using the Moser type argument, we obtain several rigidity results of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups. We further investigate the relationship between the cohomology of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups and that on Lie algebras. Finally, we characterize the rigidity properties of all crossed homomorphisms with respect to the conjugation action on the connected and simply connected two-dimensional Lie group.
