Maurer-Cartan moduli and theorems of Riemann-Hilbert type (Q2046256)

The authors study Maurer-Cartan moduli spaces of dg algebras and associated dg categories and show that they are invariants of strong homotopy type. The authors prove Schlessinger-Stasheff type theorems that compare homotopy and gauge equivalence for Maurer-Cartan elements as well as their categorified versions. As an application, the authors prove a generalization of the Block-Smith higher Riemann-Hilbert correspondence and develop its analogue for simplicial complexes and topological spaces.
