Abstract

We present the first formulation of a homotopy algebra adapted to a 1/r1/r expansion near future null infinity (I+\mathcal{I^+}). Focusing on self-dual Yang-Mills theory in Bondi coordinates, we demonstrate that imposing the homotopy algebra relations naturally yields the physically consistent fall-off behavior of the fields near I+\mathcal{I^+}. Furthermore, we employ this framework to systematically construct kinematic algebras, uncovering novel infinite families of such algebras that satisfy the Jacobi identity on slices near I+\mathcal{I^+}.
