Kirillov structures up to homotopy (Q739455)

This paper begins with an ample introduction. A bare minimum of the theory of principal \(\mathbb R^\times \)-bundles and their association with (even) line bundles is presented. There are mentioned notions such as the principal Poisson \(\mathbb R^\times \)-bundle (Kirillov manifold), the \(L_\infty\)-algebra, the homotopy Poisson algebra, the (commutative) homotopy BV-algebra, the \(L_\infty\)-algebroid. In Section 2 the definitions of the notions of a homotopy Kirillov structure and higher Kirillov brackets are given. A higher Kirillov manifold is defined as a principle \(\mathbb R^\times \)-bundle (in the category of supermanifolds) equipped with a homogeneous higher Poisson algebra. Also, it is proved that a homogeneous homotopy Poisson algebra gives rise to an \(L_\infty\)-algebra on the sections of the underlying line bundle. In Section 3 the higher Kirillov algebroid is analyzed. The notion of higher Kirillov algebroid generalizes that of Jacobi algebroid. It is shown how the first jet vector bundle of the line bundle underlying a higher Kirillov manifold comes equipped with the structure of a higher Kirillov algebroid. In the last section, the canonical association between a homotopy BV-algebra and a suitable subalgebra of the differential forms on any higher Kirillov manifold is presented.
