Abstract

Given a homotopy Lie algebra (i.e. an LL_\infty-algebra) g\mathfrak{g}, we show concretely how the Lada-Markl g\mathfrak{g}-modules (i.e. representations) assemble into a symmetric monoidal dg-category. Considering the homotopy 2-category of that dg-category, we construct infinitesimal 2-braidings from 2-shifted Poisson structures then show that such infinitesimal 2-braidings are coherent in Cirio and Faria Martins' sense. We then explicitly determine the differential of the Chevalley-Eilenberg algebra associated with a finite-dimensional homotopy Lie algebra and construct the symmetric monoidal dg-equivalence between the category of representations and the category of semi-free dg-modules over the Chevalley-Eilenberg algebra.
