Abstract

In paper arXiv:1406.1744, we constructed a symmetric monoidal category LIEMCLIE^{MC} whose objects are shifted (and filtered) L-infinity algebras. Here, we fix a cooperad CC and show that algebras over the operad Cobar(C)Cobar(C) naturally form a category enriched over LIEMCLIE^{MC}. Following arXiv:1406.1744, we "integrate" this LIEMCLIE^{MC}-enriched category to a simplicial category HoAlgCΔHoAlg^{\Delta}_C whose mapping spaces are Kan complexes. The simplicial category HoAlgCΔHoAlg^{\Delta}_C gives us a particularly nice model of an (,1)(\infty,1)-category of Cobar(C)Cobar(C)-algebras. We show that the homotopy category of HoAlgCΔHoAlg^{\Delta}_C is the localization of the category of Cobar(C)Cobar(C)-algebras and infinity morphisms with respect to infinity quasi-isomorphisms. Finally, we show that the Homotopy Transfer Theorem is a simple consequence of the Goldman-Millson theorem.
