The procedure "Lie group --> Lie algebra" has a generalization "simplicial manifold --> L_infinity algebra", or yet better, "presheaf on the category of surjective submersions --> L_infinity algebra". We describe this generalization, together with its higher-order extensions.

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…
A universal Lie ∞-algebroid is constructed for singular foliations.
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…
This paper upgrades Khovanov homology to an L-infinity module structure.
Multisymplectic geometry admits an operation that has no counterpart in symplectic geometry, namely, taking the product of two multisymplectic manifolds endowed with the wedge product of the multisymplectic forms. We show that there is an L-infinity-embedding of the L-infinity-algebra of observables of the individual f…
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 . In the case of an ordinary Lie algebra, our construction gives the simplicial classifying space of the corresponding simply connect Lie group.…
New algebra structure for Legendrian knots preserves contact homology invariants.
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…
Computes -algebroid for linear foliations on vector spaces.
Study equigeodesics on compact homogeneous spaces using Lie algebra properties.
In the first chapter, we give a precise and general description of gerbes valued in arbitrary crossed module and over an arbitrary differential stack. We do it using only Lie groupoids, hence ordinary differential geometry, by considering differential stacks as being Lie groupoids up to Morita equivalence. We prove the…
Explains how pre-symplectic structures can be changed.
An -algebra is built on symplectic manifold homology.
We study the isotropy representation of real flag manifolds associated to simple Lie algebras that are split real forms of complex simple Lie algebras. For each Dynkin diagram the invariant irreducible subspaces for the compact part of the isotropy subgroup are described. Contrary to the complex flag manifolds the deco…
Study how algebraic conditions on isotropy group affect Lorentzian homogeneous space geometry.
A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the algebraic and geometric structures found in symplectic geometry should naturally arise i…

Split Courant algebroids linked to special algebra structures.
Field Theories in Physics can be formulated giving a local Lagrangian density. Locality is imposed using the infinite jet bundle. That bundle is viewed as a pro-finite dimensional smooth manifold and that point of view has been compared to different topological and Frechét structures on it. A category of local (insular…
We establish a higher generalization of super L-infinity-algebraic T-duality of super WZW-terms for super p-branes. In particular, we demonstrate spherical T-duality of super M5-branes propagating on exceptional-geometric 11d super spacetime.
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…

The isotropy action on certain symmetric spaces is shown to be equivariantly formal.
We give a generalization of the notion of a Cartan-Ehresmann connection from Lie algebras to L-infinity algebras and use it to study the obstruction theory of lifts through higher String-like extensions of Lie algebras. We find (generalized) Chern-Simons and BF-theory functionals this way and describe aspects of their …

The paper studies deformations of Lagrangian submanifolds using algebraic tools.
We prove that a polar orthogonal representation of a real reductive algebraic group has the same closed orbits as the isotropy representation of a pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space. We also develop a partial structural theory of polar orthogonal representations of real reductive algebraic groups which slightly generali…
-structures are weak forms of multiplications on closed oriented manifolds. As shown by Hopf the rational cohomology algebras of manifolds admitting -structures are free over odd degree generators. We prove that this condition is also sufficient for the existence of -structures on manifolds which are nilpotent…

Study of manifolds with special holonomy using Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket.
It is well known that the Einstein equation on a Riemannian flag manifold reduces to a algebraic system, if is a -invariant metric. In this paper we described this system for all flag manifolds of a classical Lie group. We also determined the number of isotropy summands for all of these spaces and prov…
The paper extends Chern-Weil-Lecomte map to -algebras.
We introduce the notions of Atiyah class and Todd class of a differential graded vector bundle with respect to a differential graded Lie algebroid. We prove that the space of vector fields on a dg-manifold with homological vector field admits a structure of L-infinity algebra with the Lie derivative as unary …
Uniform Lie algebras are combinatorially defined two-step nilpotent Lie algebras which can be used to define Einstein solvmanifolds. These Einstein spaces often have nontrivial isotropy groups. We derive basic properties of uniform Lie algebras and we classify uniform Lie algebras with five or fewer generators. We defi…
We develop further the approach to derived differential geometry introduced in Costello's work on the Witten genus. In particular, we introduce several new examples of L-infinity spaces, discuss vector bundles and shifted symplectic structures on L-infinity spaces, and examine in some detail the example of derived loop…
We give a soft geometric proof of the classical result due to Conn stating that a Poisson structure is linearizable around a singular point (zero) at which the isotropy Lie algebra is compact and semisimple.
Develops deformation theory for symplectic foliations using -algebras.
I define higher codimensional versions of contact structures on manifolds as maximally non-integrable distributions. I call them multicontact structures. Cartan distributions on jet spaces provide canonical examples. More generally, I define higher codimensional versions of pre-contact structures as distributions on ma…
