Split Courant algebroids as $L_{\infty}$-structures

Differential Geometry 2020-06-30 v2

Abstract

We show that split Courant algebroids, i.e., those defined on a Whitney sum AAA \oplus A^*, are in a one-to-one correspondence with multiplicative curved LL_\infty-algebras. This one-to-one correspondence extends to Nijenhuis morphisms and behaves well under the operation of twisting by a bivector.
