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 $L_{i}nfty$-algebra is a homotopy Poisson manifold of degree $n-1$, we obtain a Courant algebroid from a $2$-term $L_{i}nfty$-algebra $g$ via the degree $2$ symplectic NQ-manifold $T^{\ast }[2]g^{\ast }[1]$. By integrating the Lie quasi-bialgebroid associated to the Courant algebroid, we obtain a Lie-quasi-Poisson groupoid from a $2$-term $L_{i}nfty$-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 $L_{i}nfty$-algebra from a given one, which could produce many interesting examples.

Review text

This paper is a study of Maurer-Cartan elements on homotopy Poisson algebras. Let us recall that a homotopy Poisson algebra is a graded commutative algebra with an \(L_\infty\)-structure whose brackets satisfy the Leibniz rule. In this work, the authors unify several twisted and homotopy structures in Poisson geometry. They begin with some recalls about the relevant notions and results. They obtain a Lie-quasi-Poisson groupoid from a 2-term \(L_\infty\)-algebra, which enables them to construct a new 2-term \(L_\infty\)-algebra from a given one. Many interesting examples are then explicitely described.
