abstract

Motivated by the definition of homotopy $L_\infty$ spaces, we develop a new theory of Kuranishi manifolds, closely related to Joyce's recent theory. We prove that Kuranishi manifolds form a $2$-category with invertible $2$-morphisms, and that certain fiber product property holds in this $2$-category. In a subsequent paper, we construct the virtual fundamental cycle of a compact oriented Kuranishi manifold, and prove some of its basic properties. Manifest from this new formulation is the fact that $[0,1]$-type homotopy $L_\infty$ spaces are naturally Kuranishi manifolds. The former structured spaces naturally appear as derived enhancements of Maurer-Cartan moduli spaces from Chern-Simons type gauge theory. In this way, Kuranishi manifolds theory can be applied to study path integrals in such type of gauge theories.

  1. Kuranishi chart categories and higher cocycle conditions

    math.SG 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Kuranishi chart categories satisfy a higher homotopical bundle-component cocycle condition automatically, replacing rigid conditions with flexible homotopy-theoretic compatibility.

  2. $L_{\infty}$-Kuranishi spaces and the moduli space of pseudoholomorphic disks

    math.SG 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The moduli space of pseudoholomorphic disks is given a new 'L∞-Kuranishi space' structure — but only under an unproved Whitney-stratification/tubular-neighborhood assumption on each chart.

  3. Categorical structures of Kuranishi spaces with $L_{\infty}[1]$-algebras

    math.SG 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Defines L∞-Kuranishi spaces via L∞[1]-algebras on Kuranishi charts and proves they form a category embedding smooth manifolds, by modifying conditions from prior work.
