In this paper we propose a reduction scheme for multivector fields phrased in terms of $L_\infty$-morphisms. Using well-know geometric properties of the reduced manifolds we perform a Taylor expansion of multivector fields, which allows us…
We characterize $A_\infty$-structures that are transfers over a chain homotopy equivalence or a quasi-isomorphism, answering a question posed by D. Sullivan. Along the way, we present an obstruction theory for weak $A_\infty$-morphisms over…
We explore the relationship between the classical constructions of cumulants and Koszul brackets, showing that the former are an expontial version of the latter. Moreover, under some additional technical assumptions, we prove that both…
The global formality of Dolgushev depends on the choice of a torsion-free covariant derivative. We prove that the globalized formalities with respect to two different covariant derivatives are homotopic. More explicitly, we derive the…
In this paper we investigate the compatibility of the BRST reduction procedure with the Hermiticity of star products. First, we introduce the generalized notion of abstract BRST algebras with corresponding involutions. In this setting we…
The anti-BRST transformation, in its Sp(2)-symmetric version, for the general case of any stage-reducible gauge theories is implemented in the usual BV approach. This task is accomplished not by duplicating the gauge symmetries but rather…
We define a strong homotopy derivation of (cohomological) degree k of a strong homotopy algebra over an operad P. This involves resolving the operad obtained from P by adding a generator with "derivation relations". For a wide class of…
This paper studies formal deformations and homotopy theory of Rota-Baxter algebras of any weight. We define an $L_\infty$-algebra, which controls simultaneous deformations of associative products and Rota-Baxter operators. As a consequence,…
It is well known that the chain map between the de Rham and Poisson complexes on a Poisson manifold also maps the Koszul bracket of differential forms into the Schouten bracket of multivector fields. In the generalized case of a…
We discuss a homological method for transferring algebra structures on complexes along suitably nice homotopy equivalences, including those obtained after an application of the Perturbation Lemma. We study the implications for the Homotopy…
For a Koszul operad $\mathcal{P}$, there are several existing approaches to the notion of a homotopy between homotopy morphisms of homotopy $\mathcal{P}$-algebras. Some of those approaches are known to give rise to the same notions. We…
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…
We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of $L_\infty$-algebras, and apply it to tree-level non-Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass…
This paper proves Koszul duality for coloured operads and uses it to introduce strongly homotopy operads as a suitable homotopy invariant version of operads. It shows that rational chains on configuration spaces of points in the plane form…
In the present paper, by using the colored version of the Koszul duality, the concept of a differential module with $\infty$-simplicial faces is introduced. The homotopy invariance of the structure of a differential module with…
We discuss the Quantum-Koszul method for constructing star products on reduced phase spaces in the symplectic, regular case. It is shown that the reduction method proposed by Kowalzig, Neumaier and Pflaum for cotangent bundles is a special…
This paper investigates Rota-Baxter systems in the sense of Brzezi\'nski from the perspective of operad theory. The minimal model of the Rota-Baxter system operad is constructed, equivalently a concrete construction of its Koszul dual…
In an application of the notion of twisting structures introduced by Hess and Lack, we define twisted composition products of symmetric sequences of chain complexes that are degreewise projective and finitely generated. Let Q be a cooperad…
Explicit constructions for the minimal models of general and unimodular L-infinity algebra structures are given using the BV-formalism of mathematical physics and the perturbative expansions of integrals. In particular, the general formulas…
We use homotopy operators for the $L_\infty$-algebra associated with an equivariant deformation problem in order to describe a smooth parametrization of the space of structures around a given one. Along the way we give new algebraic and…
