Abstract

Berwick-Evens and Lerman recently showed that the category of vector fields on a geometric stack has the structure of a Lie 22-algebra. Motivated by this work, we present a construction of graded weak Lie 22-algebras associated with quasi-Poisson groupoids based on the space of multiplicative forms on the groupoid and differential forms on the base manifold. We also establish a morphism between the Lie 22-algebra of multiplicative multivector fields and the weak Lie 22-algebra of multiplicative forms, allowing us to compare and relate different aspects of Lie 22-algebra theory within the context of quasi-Poisson geometry. As an infinitesimal analogy, we explicitly determine the associated weak Lie 22-algebra structure of IM 11-forms along with differential 11-forms on the base manifold for any quasi-Lie bialgebroid.
