A general construction of an sh Lie algebra from a homological resolution of a Lie algebra is given. It is applied to the space of local functionals equipped with a Poisson bracket, induced by a bracket for local functions along the lines suggested by Gel'fand, Dickey and Dorfman. In this way, higher order maps are constructed which combine to form an sh Lie algebra on the graded differential algebra of horizontal forms. The same construction applies for graded brackets in field theory such as the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky bracket of the Hamiltonian BRST theory or the Batalin-Vilkovisky antibracket.

  1. Multisymplectic observable reduction using constraint triples

    math.SG 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Any BV-module with a cocycle yields an L∞-algebra of observables, and constraint-triple reduction of that algebra recovers and explains the multisymplectic reduction of Blacker, Miti and Ryvkin.
