Paper constructs $L_{\infty}$-algebroids from homotopy Poisson structures.

Quantizes the relationship between Koszul and Schouten brackets in Poisson geometry.

Introduces a new operator generating higher Koszul brackets on differential forms.

We show how the relation between Poisson brackets and symplectic forms can be extended to the case of inhomogeneous multivector fields and inhomogeneous differential forms (or pseudodifferential forms). In particular we arrive at a notion which is a generalization of a symplectic structure and gives rise to higher Pois…

Generalizes Lie bialgebroids to supermanifolds with homotopy Poisson structures.

We show that if a generator of a differential Gerstenhaber algebra satisfies certain Cartan-type identities, then the corresponding Lie bracket is formal. Geometric examples include the shifted de Rham complex of a Poisson manifold and the subcomplex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold vanishing on a Lagrang…

Given a symplectic form and a pseudo-riemannian metric on a manifold, a non degenerate even Poisson bracket on the algebra of differential forms is defined and its properties are studied. A comparison with the Koszul-Schouten bracket is established.

We define and study the degeneration property for BV-infinity algebras and show that it implies that the underlying L-infinity algebras are homotopy abelian. The proof is based on a generalisation of the well-known identity Δ(e^x)=e^x(Δ(x)+[x,x]/2) which holds in all BV algebras. As an application we show that the high…

We detail the construction of a weak Poisson bracket over a submanifold of a smooth manifold M with respect to a local foliation of this submanifold. Such a bracket satisfies a weak type Jacobi identity but may be viewed as a usual Poisson bracket on the space of leaves of the foliation. We then lift this weak Poisson …

We introduce and study a construction of higher derived brackets generated by a (not necessarily inner) derivation of a Lie superalgebra. Higher derived brackets generated by an element of a Lie superalgebra were introduced in our earlier work. Examples of higher derived brackets naturally appear in geometry and mathem…

The paper constructs and generalizes Poisson brackets for Jacobi elliptic functions and higher-dimensional systems.

We present the notion of higher Kirillov brackets on the sections of an even line bundle over a supermanifold. When the line bundle is trivial we shall speak of higher Jacobi brackets. These brackets are understood furnishing the module of sections with an $L_{\infty}$-algebra, which we refer to as a homotopy Kirillov …

Defines Jacobi-Koszul-Vinberg structures on Jacobi-left-symmetric algebroids.

Holomorphic Koszul-Brylinski homology studied via Dolbeault cohomology.

Koszul duality for manifold modules proven.

Formula derived for holomorphic Poisson blow-ups.

A few generalizations of a Poisson algebra to field theory canonically formulated in terms of the polymomentum variables are discussed. A graded Poisson bracket on differential forms and an $(n+1)$-ary bracket on functions are considered. The Poisson bracket on differential forms gives rise to various generalizations o…

The paper studies affine connections on singular warped products and their curvature.

New algebraic structures extend Courant algebroids to higher multi-Courant algebroids.

We give a construction of homotopy algebras based on ``higher derived brackets''. More precisely, the data include a Lie superalgebra with a projector on an Abelian subalgebra satisfying a certain axiom, and an odd element $Δ$. Given this, we introduce an infinite sequence of higher brackets on the image of the project…

New brackets generalize Haantjes moduli and ensure integrability of operators.

This note elaborates on Th. Voronov's construction [math/0304038,math/0412202] of $L_\infty$-structures via higher derived brackets with a Maurer-Cartan element. It is shown that gauge equivalent Maurer-Cartan elements induce $L_\infty$-isomorphic structures. Applications in symplectic, Poisson and Dirac geometry are d…

The paper introduces new structures for left-symmetric algebroids.

In this note, we study the Koszul-Brylinski homology of holomorphic Poisson manifolds. We show that it is isomorphic to the cohomology of a certain smooth complex Lie algebroid with values in the Evens-Lu-Weinstein duality module. As a consequence, we prove that the Evens-Lu-Weinstein pairing on Koszul-Brylinski homolo…

Advances in Koszul modules and syzygies of algebraic varieties.

This research introduces Lie brackets on spaces of biderivations in Lie algebras.

This paper constructs Koszul duals for Heegaard Floer Dehn surgery formulas.

The Hesse-Koszul flow converges to the Hesse-Einstein metric on compact Hessian manifolds.

We extend the category of (super)manifolds and their smooth mappings by introducing a notion of microformal or "thick" morphisms. They are formal canonical relations of a special form, constructed with the help of formal power expansions in cotangent directions. The result is a formal category so that its composition l…

Characterizes real left symmetric algebras with positive definite Koszul form and related Kähler-Einstein structures.

Paper proves Koszul duality for weighted A-infinity algebras.

Proves effective Chen ranks conjecture for Koszul modules.

Our main objective is to demonstrate how homological perturbation theory (HPT) results over the last 40 years immediately or with little extra work give some of the Koszul duality results that have appeared in the last decade. Higher homotopies typically arise when a huge object, e. g. a chain complex defining various …

We show that the pseudo-Riemannian geometry of submanifolds can be formulated in terms of higher order multi-linear maps. In particular, we obtain a Poisson bracket formulation of almost (para-)Kähler geometry.

We establish an efficient compatibility criterion for a system of generalized complete intersection type in terms of certain multi-brackets of differential operators. These multi-brackets generalize the higher Jacobi-Mayer brackets, important in the study of evolutionary equations and the integrability problem. We also…

For each holomorphic vector bundle we construct a holomorphic bundle 2-gerbe that geometrically represents its second Beilinson-Chern class. Applied to the cotangent bundle, this may be regarded as a higher analogue of the canonical line bundle in complex geometry. Moreover, we exhibit the precise relationship between …

A general construction of an sh Lie algebra from a homological resolution of a Lie algebra is given. It is applied to the space of local functionals equipped with a Poisson bracket, induced by a bracket for local functions along the lines suggested by Gel'fand, Dickey and Dorfman. In this way, higher order maps are con…

We study the deformation theory of pre-symplectic structures, i.e. closed two-forms of fixed rank. The main result is a parametrization of nearby deformations of a given pre-symplectic structure in terms of an $L_\infty$-algebra, which we call Koszul $L_\infty$-algebra. This $L_\infty$-algebra is a cousin of the Koszul…

We give a method to construct Poisson brackets $\{\cdot,\cdot\}$ on Banach manifolds~$M$, for which the value of $\{f,g\}$ at some point $m\in M$ may depend on higher order derivatives of the smooth functions $f,g\colon M\to{\mathbb R}$, and not only on the first-order derivatives, as it is the case on all finite-dimen…

New approach connects supergravity, string actions, and generalized geometry via graded Poisson structures.

A generic degenerate Lagrangian system of even and odd variables on an arbitrary smooth manifold is examined in terms of the Grassmann-graded variational bicomplex. Its Euler-Lagrange operator obeys Noether identities which need not be independent, but satisfy first-stage Noether identities, and so on. However, non-tri…

Study submanifolds in Koszul-Vinberg geometry, a blend of Poisson and pseudo-Riemannian structures.

Constructs Koszul dual algebras for star-shaped diagrams in 3-manifolds.

This work is devoted to an intrinsic cohomology theory of Koszul-Vinberg algebras and their modules. Our results may be regarded as improvements of the attempt by Albert Nijenhuis in [NA]. The relationships between the cohomology theory developed here and some classical problems are pointed out, e.g. extensions of alge…

The stable Khovanov-Rozansky homology of torus knots has been conjecturally described as the Koszul homology of an explicit non-regular sequence of polynomials. We verify this conjecture against newly available computational data for sl(3)-homology. Special attention is paid to torsion. In addition, explicit conjectura…

Defines and characterizes operators on Lie ∞-algebras with respect to actions.

In this paper, we study the algebraic properties of the higher analogues of Courant algebroid structures on the direct sum bundle $TM\oplus\wedge^nT^*M$ for an $m$-dimensional manifold. As an application, we revisit Nambu-Poisson structures and multisymplectic structures. We prove that the graph of an $(n+1)$-vector fi…

The Koszul-Tate resolution is described in the context of the geometry of jet spaces and differential equations. The application due to Barnich, Brandt, and Henneaux of this resolution to computing the horizontal cohomology is analyzed. Relations with the Vinogradov spectral sequence are discussed.
