Closed string field theory leads to a generalization of Lie algebra which arose naturally within mathematics in the study of deformations of algebraic structures. It also appeared in work on higher spin particles \cite{BBvD}. Representation theoretic analogs arose in the mathematical analysis of the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky approach to constrained Hamiltonians. A major goal of this paper is to see the relevant formulas, especially in closed string field theory, as a generalization of those for a differential graded Lie algebra, hopefully describing the mathematical essentials in terms accessible to {\it physicists}.

  1. $L_\infty$-algebraic extensions of non-Lorentzian kinematical Lie algebras, gravities, and brane couplings

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    L_infinity extensions of Galilean, Newton-Hooke and static algebras produce infinite towers of p-form fields that couple to torsionful non-Lorentzian gravities and yield WZW terms for (p-1)-branes via doubled coordinates.

  2. Covariant phase space and $L_\infty$ algebras

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A covariant phase space symplectic form is constructed for any L∞ Lagrangian field theory using a 'sigmoid' operator, and is verified in scalar, Yang-Mills, general relativity, and p-adic string examples.

  3. The Double Copy of Maximal Supersymmetry in $D=4$

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    N=8 supergravity to cubic order is realized as the off-shell double copy of N=4 super Yang-Mills, with N=8 supersymmetry and SU(8) R-symmetry emerging from the two gauge factors.

  4. Universal quadratic field equations via homotopy algebras

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The bar-cobar construction turns the equations of motion of any homotopy-algebra gauge theory into universal quadratic Maurer-Cartan equations, with solutions equivalent to the original theory.

  5. Conserved charges and $L_\infty$ algebras

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A formula for conserved charges expressed solely via L_infinity algebra data for arbitrary Lagrangian theories, shown to recover the Brown-York surface charge in GR.

  6. Explicit class of finite-dimensional polynomial algebras with Wronskians over $\mathbb{R}^d$ as $N$-ary Lie brackets: beyond $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$

    math.RA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit classification of all finite-dimensional polynomial SH-Lie algebras over R^d or C^d using complete generalized Wronskians of order k as N-ary brackets, together with a factorization formula for the associated...

  7. Generalised Symmetries and Swampland-Type Constraints from Charge Quantisation via Rational Homotopy Theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Refining charge quantization via a homotopy type A yields swampland-like constraints ruling out noncompact gauge groups and non-nilpotent one-form Lie algebras, and requires A to be contractible for quantum gravity theories.

  8. Gauged Extended Field Theory and Generalised Cartan Geometry

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A systematic Cartan-geometric construction of linearised torsion and curvature hierarchies for generalised geometries with global duality group G and local gauge group H, realised via brane current algebras.

  9. Quantum flux operators in the fermionic theory and their supersymmetric extension

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives fermionic quantum flux operators at null infinity, finds an anomalous helicity flux from superrotation commutators, and shows the resulting algebra reduces to super-BMS and R-extended super-Poincaré ...

  10. Super-$\mathrm{Lie}_\infty$ T-Duality and M-Theory

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The M-algebra is shown to be the brane-charge completion of the fully T-doubled super-spacetime, with the Poincaré super 2-form of T-duality lifted to a Poincaré super 3-form.

  11. Tensor hierarchy algebras and extended geometry II: Gauge structure and dynamics

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The gauge structure and pseudo-action of extended geometry with ancillary transformations are encoded by a tensor hierarchy algebra S(g+), yielding a partial L-infinity description for finite-dimensional structure groups.
