Abstract: We study Maurer-Cartan elements on homotopy Poisson manifolds of degree n. They unify many twisted or homotopy structures in Poisson geometry and mathematical physics, such as twisted Poisson manifolds, quasi-Poisson g-manifolds, and twisted Courant algebroids. Using the fact that the dual of an n-term Linfty-algebra is a homotopy Poisson manifold of degree n1, we obtain a Courant algebroid from a 2-term Linfty-algebra g via the degree 2 symplectic NQ-manifold T[2]g[1]. By integrating the Lie quasi-bialgebroid associated to the Courant algebroid, we obtain a Lie-quasi-Poisson groupoid from a 2-term Linfty-algebra, which is proposed to be the geometric structure on the dual of a Lie 2-algebra. These results lead to a construction of a new 2-term Linfty-algebra from a given one, which could produce many interesting examples.
