Let M be a graded Lie algebra, together with graded Lie subalgebras L and A such that as a graded space M is the direct sum of L and A, and A is abelian. Let D be a degree one derivation of M squaring to zero and sending L into itself, then…

We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent \Delta operator, we define a non-commutative generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized…

We introduce and study a construction of higher derived brackets generated by a (not necessarily inner) derivation of a Lie superalgebra. Higher derived brackets generated by an element of a Lie superalgebra were introduced in our earlier…

A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…

We survey the many instances of derived bracket construction in differential geometry, Lie algebroid and Courant algebroid theories, and their properties. We recall and compare the constructions of Buttin and Vinogradov, and we prove that…

We define a higher analogue of Dirac structures on a manifold M. Under a regularity assumption, higher Dirac structures can be described by a foliation and a (not necessarily closed, non-unique) differential form on M, and are equivalent to…

We establish a correspondence between infinity-enhanced Leibniz algebras, recently introduced in order to encode tensor hierarchies, and differential graded Lie algebras, which have been already used in this context. We explain how any…

The binary bracket of a Courant algebroid structure on $(E,\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ can be extended to a $n$-ary bracket on $\Gamma(E)$, yielding a multi-Courant algebroid. These $n$-ary brackets form a Poisson algebra and were…

We will introduce the notion of higher derived bracket construction in the category of operads and prove that the higher derived bracket construction of Lie operad is equivalent to the cobar construction of Leibniz operad. The theorem is…

We give a construction of homotopy algebras based on ``higher derived brackets''. More precisely, the data include a Lie superalgebra with a projector on an Abelian subalgebra satisfying a certain axiom, and an odd element $\Delta$. Given…

To any manifold equipped with a higher degree closed form, one can associate an L-infinity algebra of local observables that generalizes the Poisson algebra of a symplectic manifold. Here, by means of an explicit homotopy equivalence, we…

This note elaborates on Th. Voronov's construction [math/0304038,math/0412202] of $L_\infty$-structures via higher derived brackets with a Maurer-Cartan element. It is shown that gauge equivalent Maurer-Cartan elements induce…

It is shown that every $2$-shifted Poisson structure on a finitely generated semi-free commutative differential graded algebra $A$ defines a very explicit infinitesimal $2$-braiding on the homotopy $2$-category of the symmetric monoidal…

Lie n-algebroids and Lie infinity algebroids are usually thought of exclusively in supergeometric or algebraic terms. In this work, we apply the higher derived brackets construction to obtain a geometric description of Lie n-algebroids by…

We introduce a new type of algebra, which is called a Lie-Leibniz algebra. This concept is an abstraction of derived bracket construction. It will be proved that the operad of Lie-Leibniz algebras is Koszul. The strong homotopy version of…

We develop a general framework for the construction of various derived brackets. We show that suitably deforming the differential of a graded Leibniz algebra extends the derived bracket construction and leads to the notion of strong…

Derived $A_\infty$-algebras have a wealth of theoretical advantages over regular $A_\infty$-algebras. However, due to their bigraded nature, in practice they are often unwieldy to work with. We develop a framework involving brace algebras…

Let g be a simplicial Lie algebra with Moore complex Ng of length k. Let G be the simplicial Lie group integrating g, which is simply connected in each simplicial level. We use the 1-jet of the classifying space of G to construct, starting…

Derived brackets as introduced and studied by Kosmann-Schwarzbach and Voronov are a powerful tool for describing and understanding infinitesimal symmetry actions relevant in physics. Roytenberg and Weinstein showed that this continues to…

We present a method to construct explicitly L-infinity algebras governing simultaneous deformations of various kinds of algebraic structures and of their morphisms. It is an alternative to the heavy use of the operad machinery of the…
