Abstract
The binary bracket of a Courant algebroid structure on can be extended to a -ary bracket on , yielding a multi-Courant algebroid. These -ary brackets form a Poisson algebra and were defined, in an algebraic setting, by Keller and Waldmann. We construct a higher geometric version of Keller-Waldmann Poisson algebra and define higher multi-Courant algebroids. As Courant algebroid structures can be seen as degree functions on a graded symplectic manifold of degree , higher multi-Courant structures can be seen as functions of degree on that graded symplectic manifold.
