Abstract

One of the approaches to quantum gravity is to formulate it in terms of De Rham algebra, choose a triangulation of space-time, and replace differential forms by cochains (that form a finite dimensional vector space). The key issue of general relativity is the action of diffeomorphisms of space-time on fields. In this paper, we induce the action of diffeomorphisms on cochains by homotopy transfer (or, equivalently, BV integral) that leads to a LL_{\infty} action. We explicitly compute this action for the space-time being an interval, a circle, and a square.
