In this work we discuss the construction of "simplicial BF theory", the field theory with finite-dimensional space of fields, associated to a triangulated manifold, that is in a sense equivalent to topological BF theory on the manifold (with infinite-dimensional space of fields). This is done in framework of simplicial program - program of constructing discrete topological field theories. We also discuss the relation of these constructions to homotopy algebra.

Field theory of $\mathfrak{su}(n)$: the absence of non-zero scatterings
The authors prove the absence of non-zero trivalent tree-level scattering amplitudes in su(n) field theory toy models via homological perturbation theory and demonstrate non-trivial higher products in an enlarged field space.
