On the infinity category of homotopy Leibniz algebras

Abstract: We discuss various concepts of infty-homotopies, as well as the relations between them (focussing on the Leibniz type). In particular infty-n-homotopies appear as the n-simplices of the nerve of a complete Lie infty-algebra. In the nilpotent case, this nerve is known to be a Kan complex cite{Get09}. We argue that there is a quasi-category of infty-algebras and show that for truncated infty-algebras, i.e. categorified algebras, this infty-categorical structure projects to a strict 2-categorical one. The paper contains a shortcut to (infty,1)-categories, as well as a review of Getzler's proof of the Kan property. We make the latter concrete by applying it to the 2-term infty-algebra case, thus recovering the concept of homotopy of cite{BC04}, as well as the corresponding composition rule cite{SS07}. We also answer a question of cite{BS07} about composition of infty-homotopies of infty-algebras.
