$L_{\infty}$ algebras have been recently studied as algebraic frameworks in the formulation of gauge theories in which the gauge symmetries and the dynamics of the interacting theories are contained in a set of products acting on a graded…

Motivated by gauge theory, we develop a general framework for chain complex valued algebraic quantum field theories. Building upon our recent operadic approach to this subject, we show that the category of such theories carries a canonical…

It is shown that the principle of locality and noncommutative geometry can be connnected by a sheaf theoretical method. In this framework quantum spaces are introduced and examples in mathematical physics are given. With the language of…

In Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism a classical mechanical system is specified by means of a solution to the {\sl classical master equation}. Geometrically such a solution can be considered as a $QP$-manifold, i.e. a super\m equipped with an…

We consider homotopy actions of a Lie algebroid on a graded manifold, defined as suitable $L_{\infty}$-algebra morphisms. On the "semi-direct product" we construct a homological vector field that projects to the Lie algebroid. Our main…

In this review we give a detailed introduction to the theory of (curved) $L_\infty$-algebras and $L_\infty$-morphisms. In particular, we recall the notion of (curved) Maurer-Cartan elements, their equivalence classes and the twisting…
