Abstract

Let LL be a line bundle over MM. In this paper we associate an LL_\infty-algebra to any LL-Courant algebroid (contact Courant algebroid in the sense of Grabowski). This construction is similar to the work of Roytenberg and Weinstein for Courant algebroids. Next we associate a pp-term LL_\infty-algebra to any isotropic involutive subbundle of (DL)p:=DL(p(DL)L)(\mathbb{D}L)^p := DL \oplus (\wedge^p (DL)^* \otimes L), where DLDL is the gauge algebroid of LL. In a particular case, we relate these LL_\infty-algebras by a suitable morphism.
