The Deligne groupoid is a functor from nilpotent differential graded Lie algebras concentrated in positive degrees to groupoids; in the special case of Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero, it gives the associated simply connected Lie group. We generalize the Deligne groupoid to a functor γ from L ∞ -algebras concentrated in degree > -n to n-groupoids. (We actually construct the nerve of the n-groupoid, which is an enriched Kan complex.) The construction of gamma is quite explicit…

Lie Theory for Complete Curved A ∞-algebras
In this paper we develop the A∞-analog of the Maurer-Cartan simplicial set associated to an L∞-algebra and show how we can use this to study the deformation theory of ∞-morphisms of algebras over…
Membranes and higher groupoids
We study the dg-Lie algebra f_n generated by the coefficients of the universal translation invariant flat dg-connection on the n-dimensional affine space. We describe its "semiabelianization" (in…
Curved L-infinity algebras and lifts of torsors
Consider an extension of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras 0→ h→ g̃→ g→ 0 (over a field k of characteristic zero) corresponding to an extension of unipotent algebraic groups 1 → H → G̃ → G →…

Abstract Given two Lie 2-groups, we study the problem of integrating a weak morphism between the corresponding Lie 2-algebras to a weak morphism between the Lie 2-groups. To do so, we develop a…
Cech cocycles for differential characteristic classes -- An infinity-Lie theoretic construction
What are called secondary characteristic classes in Chern-Weil theory are a refinement of ordinary characteristic classes of principal bundles from cohomology to differential cohomology. We consider…
Homotopy theory of complete Lie algebras and Lie models of simplicial sets
In a previous work, by extending the classical Quillen construction to the non‐simply connected case, we have built a pair of adjoint functors, model and realization, between the categories of…
Deformations, cohomologies and integrations of relative difference Lie algebras
In this paper, first using the higher derived brackets, we give the controlling algebra of relative difference Lie algebras, which are also called crossed homomorphisms or differential Lie algebras…
Higher Lie theory
We present a novel approach to the problem of integrating homotopy Lie algebras by representing the Maurer-Cartan space functor with a universal cosimplicial object. This recovers Getzler's original…
Complete filtered L∞-algebras and their homotopy theory
We analyze a model for the homotopy theory of complete filtered Z-gradedL∞-algebras, which lends itself well to computations in deformation theory and homotopical algebra. We first give an explicit…
Homological Algebra for Superalgebras of Differentiable Functions
This is the second in a series of papers laying the foundations for a differential graded approach to derived differential geometry (and other geometries in characteristic zero). In this paper, we…
