Abstract: We propose a general notion of algebraic gauge theory obtained via extracting the main properties of classical gauge theory. Building on a recent work on transferring curved $A_{infty}$-structures we show that, under certain technical conditions, algebraic gauge theories can be transferred along chain contractions. Specializing to the case of the contraction from differential forms to cochains, we obtain a simplicial gauge theory on the matrix-valued simplicial cochains of a triangulated manifold. In particular, one obtains discrete notions of connection, curvature, gauge transformation and gauge invariant action.
