Abstract

Given any K\"ahler manifold XX, Kapranov discovered an L[1]L_\infty[1] algebra structure on ΩX0,(TX1,0)\Omega^{0,\bullet}_X(T^{1,0}_X). Motivated by this result, we introduce, as a generalization of L[1]L_\infty[1] algebras, a notion of L[1]L_\infty[1] R\mathfrak{R}-algebra, where R\mathfrak{R} 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 (L,QL)(\mathcal{L},Q_{\mathcal{L}}) over a DG manifold (M,Q)(\mathcal{M},Q), there exists an induced L[1]L_\infty[1] R\mathfrak{R}-algebra structure on Γ(L)\Gamma(\mathcal{L}), where R\mathfrak{R} is the DG commutative algebra (C(M),Q)(C^\infty(\mathcal{M}),Q) -- its unary bracket is QLQ_{\mathcal{L}} while its binary bracket is a cocycle representative of the Atiyah class of the DG Lie algebroid. This L[1]L_\infty[1] R\mathfrak{R}-algebra Γ(L)\Gamma(\mathcal{L}) is linearizable if and only if the Atiyah class of the DG Lie algebroid vanishes. However, the L[1]L_\infty[1] (K\mathbb{K}-)algebra Γ(L)\Gamma(\mathcal{L}) induced by this L[1]L_\infty[1] R\mathfrak{R}-algebra is necessarily homotopy abelian. As a special case, we prove that, given any complex manifold XX, the Kapranov L[1]L_\infty[1] R\mathfrak{R}-algebra ΩX0,(TX1,0)\Omega^{0,\bullet}_X(T^{1,0}_X), where R\mathfrak{R} is the DG commutative algebra (ΩX0,,ˉ)(\Omega^{0,\bullet}_X,\bar{\partial}), is linearizable if and only if the Atiyah class of the holomorphic tangent bundle TXT_X vanishes. Nevertheless, the induced L[1]L_\infty[1] C\mathbb{C}-algebra structure on ΩX0,(TX1,0)\Omega^{0,\bullet}_X(T^{1,0}_X) is necessarily homotopy abelian.
