The present paper can be thought of as a continuation of the paper "Introduction to sh Lie algebras for physicists" by T. Lada and J. Stasheff (International Journal of Theoretical Physics Vol. 32, No. 7 (1993), 1087--1103, appeared also as preprint hep-th/9209099) which provided an exposition of the basic ingredients of the theory of strongly homotopy Lie algebras sufficient for the underpinnings of the physically relevant examples. We demonstrate the `strong homotopy' analog of the usual…

### Loop Homotopy Algebras in Closed String Field Theory

Abstract: Barton Zwiebach constructed [20] “string products” on the Hilbert space of a combined conformal field theory of matter and ghosts, satisfying the “main identity”. It has been well known

We present a definition of homotopy algebra for an operad, and explore its consequences. The paper should be accessible to topologists, category theorists, and anyone acquainted with operads. After

This paper is devoted to the study of the relation between ‘formal exponential maps,’ the Atiyah class, and Kapranov L∞[1] algebras associated with dg manifolds in the C ∞ context. We prove that, for

### An explicit model for the homotopy theory of finite-type Lie n–algebras

Lie $n$-algebras are the $L_\infty$ analogs of chain Lie algebras from rational homotopy theory. Henriques showed that finite type Lie $n$-algebras can be integrated to produce certain simplicial

### Deformation theory and rational homotopy type

• Mathematics
• 2012
We regard the classification of rational homotopy types as a problem in algebraic deformation theory: any space with given cohomology is a perturbation, or deformation, of the "formal" space with

### INTRINSIC BRACKETS AND THE L∞-DEFORMATION THEORY OF BIALGEBRAS

We show that there exists a Lie bracket on the cohomology of any type of (bi)algebras over an operad or a prop, induced by an L∞-structure on the defining cochain complex, such that the associated

### Resolutions of operads arising from Koszul (bi)algebras

We introduce a construction that produces from each bialgebra H an operad AssH controlling associative algebras in the monoidal category of H-modules or, briefly, H-algebras. When the underlying

Abstract We define the notion of a "Lie k -algebra" to be a ( k + 1)-ary skew-symmetric operation on a bigraded vector space which satisfies a certain relation of degree 2 k + 1. The notion of Lie
