L-infinity algebra actionsmath.DG
We define the notion of action of an L-infinity algebra on a graded manifold , and show that such an action corresponds to a homological vector field on of a specific form. This generalizes the correspondence between Lie algebra actions on manifolds and transformation Lie algebroids. In particula…
Motivated by families of formal moduli problems, in this note we generalize the notion of L-infinity space by allowing sheaves of L-infinity algebras over any (reasonable) nilpotent dg manifold. We discuss various examples including those coming from Lie algebroids. Given a Lie algebroid, we show that there is an L-inf…
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 gamma from L-infin…

Given an n-term L-infinity algebra L, we construct a Kan simplicial manifold which we think of as the 'Lie n-group' integrating L. This extends work of Getzler math.AT/0404003 .

Homotopy moment mapsmath.DG
Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group actions on these manifolds, we introduce a theory of homotopy moment maps. Such a…
In the first chapter, we give a precise and general description of gerbes valued in arbitrary crossed module and over an arbitrary differential stack.
