Kapranov $L_{\infty}[1]$ algebras
Abstract
Given any K\"ahler manifold , Kapranov discovered an algebra structure on . Motivated by this result, we introduce, as a generalization of algebras, a notion of -algebra, where is a differential graded commutative algebra with unit. We show that standard notions (such as quasi-isomorphism and linearization) and results (including homotopy transfer theorems) can be extended to this context. For instance, we provide a linearization theorem. As an application, we prove that, given any DG Lie algebroid over a DG manifold , there exists an induced -algebra structure on , where is the DG commutative algebra -- its unary bracket is while its binary bracket is a cocycle representative of the Atiyah class of the DG Lie algebroid. This -algebra is linearizable if and only if the Atiyah class of the DG Lie algebroid vanishes. However, the (-)algebra induced by this -algebra is necessarily homotopy abelian. As a special case, we prove that, given any complex manifold , the Kapranov -algebra , where is the DG commutative algebra , is linearizable if and only if the Atiyah class of the holomorphic tangent bundle vanishes. Nevertheless, the induced -algebra structure on is necessarily homotopy abelian.
