Abstract

The Rumin algebra of a contact manifold is a contact invariant CC_\infty-algebra of differential forms which computes the de Rham cohomology algebra. We recover this fact by giving a simple and explicit construction of the Rumin algebra via Markl's formulation of the Homotopy Transfer Theorem.
