    The Controlling \(L_\infty \) -Algebra, Cohomology and Homotopy of Embedding Tensors and Lie–Leibniz Triples

    In this paper, we first construct the controlling algebras of embedding tensors and Lie–Leibniz triples, which turn out to be a graded Lie algebra and an ...

    Chern–Simons, Wess–Zumino and other cocycles from Kashiwara–Vergne and associators

    Descent equations play an important role in the theory of characteristic classes and find applications in theoretical physics, e.g., in the Chern–Simons field theory and in the theory of anomalies. The second Che...

    Lie 2-Bialgebras

    In this paper, we study Lie 2-bialgebras, paying special attention to coboundary ones, with the help of the cohomology theory of L -algebras with coefficients in L -modules. We c...

    Integration of Lie 2-Algebras and Their Morphisms

    Given a strict Lie 2-algebra, we can integrate it to a strict Lie 2-group by integrating the corresponding Lie algebra crossed module. On the other hand, the integration procedure of Getzler and Henriques will...

    Non-Hausdorff symmetries of C*-algebras

    Symmetry groups or groupoids of C*-algebras associated to non-Hausdorff spaces are often non-Hausdorff as well. We describe such symmetries using crossed modules of groupoids. We define actions of crossed modu...

    Kan Replacement of Simplicial Manifolds

    We establish a functor Kan from local Kan simplicial manifolds to weak Kan simplicial manifolds. It gives a solution to the problem of extending local Lie groupoids to Lie 2-groupoids.
