The purpose of this paper is to discuss the universal algebra theory of hom-algebras. This kind of algebra involves a linear map which twists the usual identities. We focus on hom-associative algebras and hom-Lie algebras for which we…

Hom-algebras are generalizations of algebras obtained using a twisting by a linear map. But there is a priori a freedom on where to twist. We enumerate here all the possible choices in the Lie and associative categories and study the…

The present paper can be thought of as a continuation of the paper "Introduction to sh Lie algebras for physicists" by T. Lada and J. Stasheff (International Journal of Theoretical Physics Vol. 32, No. 7 (1993), 1087--1103, appeared also as…

We construct the universal enveloping algebra of a Hom-Lie algebra and endow it with a Hom-Hopf algebra structure. We discuss group-like elements that we see as a Hom-group integrating the initial Hom-Lie algebra.

Let A be a geometric arrangement such that codim(x) > 1 for every x in A. We prove that, if the complement space M(A) is rationally hyperbolic, then there exists an injective from a free Lie algebra L(u,v) to the homotopy Lie algebra of…

For any L-infinity algebra L, we construct an A-infinity structure on the space of symmetric tensors Sym*(L), which generalizes the classical universal enveloping for Lie algebras. Our construction is based on an invariant homotopy on a…

We give a new construction of free distributive p-algebras. Our construction relies on a detailed description of completely meet-irreducible congruences, so it is purely universal algebraic. It yields a normal form theorem for p-algebra…

We prove that strongly homotopy algebras (such as $A_\infty$, $C_\infty$, sh Lie, $B_\infty$, $G_\infty$,...) are homotopically invariant in the category of chain complexes. An important consequence is a rigorous proof that `strongly…

The aim of this brief note is mainly to advocate our approach to homotopy algebras based on the minimal model of an operad. Our exposition is motivated by two examples which we discuss very explicitly - the example of strongly homotopy…

We study extensively the homotopy theory of coalgebras. By coalgebras, we mean the full theory of coalgebras: with counits and not necessarily locally conilpotent. For example $\mathcal E_\infty$-coalgebras, $\mathcal A_\infty$-coalgebras,…

Hom-algebras over a PROP are defined and studied. Several twisting constructions for Hom-algebras over a large class of PROPs are proved, generalizing many such results in the literature. Partial classification of Hom-algebras over a PROP…

Looking back over 55 years of higher homotopy structures, I reminisce as I recall the early days and ponder how they developed and how I now see them. From the history of $A_\infty$-structures and later of $L_\infty$ -structures and their…

Let $H$ be a cocommutative Hopf algebra. The notion of Lie $H$-pseudoalgebra is a multivariable generalization of Lie conformal algebras. In this paper, we study some higher structures related to Lie $H$-pseudoalgebras where we increase the…

A brief introduction to universal algebra and the theory of topological algebras, their varieties, and free topological algebras is presented. Free topological Mal'tsev algebras are studied. Their properties, relationship with topological…

This paper is a survey of our previous works on open-closed homotopy algebras, together with geometrical background, especially in terms of compactifications of configuration spaces (one of Fred's specialities) of Riemann surfaces,…

We present an unified construction for algebras and modules homologies and cohomologies, in the case of associative, commuttaive, Lie and Gerstenhaber algebras. We make a distinction between the linear part of the construction of algebras…

We develop a homotopy theory of $L_\infty$ algebras based on the Lawrence-Sullivan construction, a complete differential graded Lie algebra which, as we show, satisfies the necessary properties to become the right cylinder in this category.…

A Hom-type algebra is called involutive if its Hom map is multiplicative and involutive. In this paper, we obtain an explicit construction of the free involutive Hom-associative algebra on a Hom-module. We then apply this construction to…

Higher structures - infinity algebras and other objects up to homotopy, categorified algebras, `oidified' concepts, operads, higher categories, higher Lie theory, higher gauge theory... - are currently intensively investigated in…

It is known that a single mapping defined on one term of a differential graded vector space extends to a strongly homotopy Lie algebra structure on the graded space when that mapping satisfies two conditions. This strongly homotopy Lie…
