%X The aim of this paper is to study representations of 3-dimensional simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras (whose structure is of A1-type). In this paper we can see that a finite dimensional representation of is not always completely reducible, and a representation of is irreducible if and only if it is a regular Lie-type representation. 1. Introduction In 2006, Hartwig, Larsson, and Silvestrov introduced the notion of a Hom-Lie algebra [1], which is a generalization of the notion of a Lie algebra. In particular, if , then a Hom-Lie algebra is exactly a Lie algebra. Because the Hom-Lie algebras are closely related to discrete and deformed vector fields, differential calculus [2, 3], and mathematical physics [4, 5], the Hom-Lie algebras have attracted more and more attention and become an active topic in recent years [6¨C8]. The representation theory plays an important role in Lie theory [9¨C11]. By means of the representation theory, we would be more aware of the corresponding algebras. Thus it is meaningful to obtain more information about the representations of Hom-Lie algebras. In [7] the author defined the representations of Hom-Lie algebras and the corresponding Hom-cochain complexes, and studied the cohomologies associated with the adjoint representation and the trivial representation. As is known, specific calculations about the representations of Hom-Lie algebras are still not solved. The diversity of the twist map of makes this topic interesting and complicated. Thanks to the relationship between multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras with invertible and Lie algebras (Lemma 3), the representation theory of Lie algebras can be a reference to what is considered. The representation of a 3-dimensional simple Lie algebra plays a crucial role in the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras over [9]. By the same reason, in this paper, we study the representations of 3-dimensional simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we study the structures of 3-dimensional simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebra and show that 3-dimensional simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras are of -type. In Section 3, the representation of a multiplicative Hom-Lie algebra with invertible is investigated and shows that when is invertible, is of Lie-type, which makes it convenient to study representations of multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras. In Section 4, we study regular Lie-type representations of 3-dimensional simple multiplicative Hom-Lie algebras and reflect the existence and irreducibility of representations of this type. In
