In this note, we unveil homotopy-rich algebraic structures generated by the Atiyah classes relative to a Lie pair $(L,A)$ of algebroids. In particular, we prove that the quotient $L/A$ of such a pair admits an essentially canonical homotopy…

A celebrated theorem of Kapranov states that the Atiyah class of the tangent bundle of a complex manifold $X$ makes $T_X[-1]$ into a Lie algebra object in $D^+(X)$, the bounded below derived category of coherent sheaves on $X$. Furthermore…

Given any K\"ahler manifold $X$, Kapranov discovered an $L_\infty[1]$ algebra structure on $\Omega^{0,\bullet}_X(T^{1,0}_X)$. Motivated by this result, we introduce, as a generalization of $L_\infty[1]$ algebras, a notion of $L_\infty[1]$…

We prove that to every inclusion $A\hookrightarrow L$ of Lie algebroids over the same base manifold $M$ corresponds a Kapranov dg-manifold structure on $A[1]\oplus L/A$, which is canonical up to isomorphism. As a consequence,…

A well-known theorem of Kapranov states that the Atiyah class of the tangent bundle $TX$ of a complex manifold $X$ makes the shifted tangent bundle $TX[-1]$ into a Lie algebra object in the derived category $D(X)$. Moreover, he showed that…

For every Lie pair $(L,A)$ of algebroids we construct a dg-manifold structure on the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifold $\mathcal M=L[1]\oplus L/A$ such that the inclusion $\iota: A[1] \to \mathcal M$ and the projection $p:\mathcal M\to L[1]$ are…

We introduce the notions of Atiyah class and Todd class of a differential graded vector bundle with respect to a differential graded Lie algebroid. We prove that the space of vector fields on a dg-manifold with homological vector field $Q$…

A Loday-Pirashvili module over a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Lie algebra object $\bigl(G\xrightarrow{X} \mathfrak{g} \bigr)$ in the category of linear maps, or equivalently, a $\mathfrak{g}$-module $G$ which admits a…

The subject of this paper is strongly homotopy (SH) Lie algebras, also known as $L_\infty$-algebras. We extract an intrinsic character, the Atiyah class, which measures the nontriviality of an (SH) Lie algebra $A$ when it is extended to…

For a Lie algebroid pair $A\hookrightarrow L$ we study cocycles constructed from the extension to $L$ of the higher connection forms of a representation up to homotopy $E$ of the Lie algebroid $A$. We show that there exists a cohomology…

For any regular Lie algebroid $A$, the kernel $K$ and the image $F$ of its anchor map $\rho_A$, together with $A$ itself fit into a short exact sequence, called Atiyah sequence, of Lie algebroids. We prove that Atiyah and Todd classes of dg…

We recover some recent results by Dotsenko, Shadrin and Vallette on the Deligne groupoid of a pre-Lie algebra, showing that they follow naturally by a pre-Lie variant of the PBW Theorem. As an application, we show that Kapranov's $L_\infty$…

Associated to each finite dimensional linear representation of a group G, there is a vector bundle over the classifying space BG. This construction was studied extensively for compact groups by Atiyah and Segal. We introduce a homotopy…

We continue the study the Dolbeault dga of the formal neighborhood of an arbitary closed embedding of complex manifolds previously defined by the author in \cite{DolbeaultDGA}. The special case of the diagonal embedding has been studied in…

Given any pair $(L,A)$ of Lie algebroids, we construct a differential graded manifold $(L[1]\oplus L/A,Q)$, which we call Fedosov dg manifold. We prove that the cohomological vector field $Q$ constructed on $L[1]\oplus L/A$ by the Fedosov…

We investigate Atiyah algebroids, i.e. the infinitesimal objects of principal bundles, from the viewpoint of Lie algebraic approach to space. First we show that if the Lie algebras of smooth sections of two Atiyah algebroids are isomorphic,…

Motivated from target space covariant formulations of topological sigma models and from a graded-geometric approach to higher gauge theory, we study connections on Lie and Courant algebroids and on their description as differential graded…

Let G be a connected Lie group, LG its loop group, and PG->G the principal LG-bundle defined by quasi-periodic paths in G. This paper is devoted to differential geometry of the Atiyah algebroid A=T(PG)/LG of this bundle. Given a symmetric…

We solve the differentiation problem for Lie $\infty$-groups. Our approach builds on a classical version of Cartier duality which canonically identifies the Hopf algebra of point distributions supported at the identity of a Lie group with…

In this paper, we study the Atiyah class and Todd class of the DG manifold $(F[1],d_F)$ corresponding to an integrable distribution $F \subset T_{\mathbb{K}} M = TM \otimes_{\mathbb{R}} \mathbb{K}$, where $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{R}$ or…
