Higher derived brackets and homotopy algebras

Abstract

We give a construction of homotopy algebras based on ``higher derived brackets''. More precisely, the data include a Lie superalgebra with a projector on an Abelian subalgebra satisfying a certain axiom, and an odd element $\Delta$. Given this, we introduce an infinite sequence of higher brackets on the image of the projector, and explicitly calculate their Jacobiators in terms of ${\Delta }^2$. This allows to control higher Jacobi identities in terms of the ``order'' of ${\Delta }^2$. Examples include Stasheff's strongly homotopy Lie algebras and variants of homotopy Batalin--Vilkovisky algebras. There is a generalization with $\D$ replaced by an arbitrary odd derivation. We discuss applications and links with other constructions.

22 pages; LaTeX 2e. New version included a generalization, the higher derived brackets generated by a not necessarily inner derivation, and a based on it homotopy-theoretic interpretation
