Free ${A}_\infty$-categories

Category Theory 2008-02-17 v4

Abstract

For a differential graded k-quiver Q we define the free A-infinity-category FQ generated by Q. The main result is that for an arbitrary A-infinity-category A the restriction A-infinity-functor A_\infty(FQ,A) -> A_1(Q,A) is an equivalence, where objects of the last A-infinity-category are morphisms of differential graded k-quivers Q -> A.
