Lagrangian Relations and Quantum $L_\infty$ Algebras
Abstract
Quantum algebras are higher loop generalizations of cyclic algebras. Motivated by the problem of defining morphisms between such algebras, we construct a linear category of -shifted symplectic vector spaces and distributional half-densities, originally proposed by \v{S}evera. Morphisms in this category can be given both by formal half-densities and Lagrangian relations; we prove that the composition of such morphisms recovers the construction of homotopy transfer of quantum algebras. Finally, using this category, we propose a new notion of a relation between quantum algebras.
