L-infinity algebra actions

Differential Geometry 2013-01-30 v2

Abstract

We define the notion of action of an L-infinity algebra gg on a graded manifold MM, and show that such an action corresponds to a homological vector field on g[1]×Mg[1] \times M of a specific form. This generalizes the correspondence between Lie algebra actions on manifolds and transformation Lie algebroids. In particular, we consider actions of gg on a second L-infinity algebra, leading to a notion of "semidirect product" of L-infinity algebras more general than those we found in the literature.
