Symmetric Brace Algebras

Quantum Algebra 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We develop a symmetric analog of brace algebras and discuss the relation of such algebras to LL_{\infty}-algebras. We give an alternate proof that the category of symmetric brace algebras is isomorphic to the category of pre-Lie algebras. As an application, symmetric braces are used to describe transfers of strongly homotopy structures. We then explain how these symmetric brace algebras may be used to examine the LL_{\infty}-algebras that result from a particular gauge theory for massless particles of high spin.
