Syllepses from 3-shifted Poisson structures and second-order integration of infinitesimal 2-braidings

arXiv:2505.01949

Abstract

This paper follows on from ``Infinitesimal 2-braidings from 2-shifted Poisson structures". It is demonstrated that the hexagonators appearing at second order satisfy the requisite axioms of a braided monoidal cochain 2-category provided that the strict infinitesimal 2-braiding is totally symmetric and coherent (in Cirio and Faria Martins' sense). We show that those infinitesimal 2-braidings induced by 2-shifted Poisson structures are indeed totally symmetric and we relate coherency to the third-weight component of the Maurer-Cartan equation that a 2-shifted Poisson structure must satisfy. Furthermore, we show that 3-shifted Poisson structures and ``coboundary" 2-shifted Poisson structures induce syllepses.
