Shifted symplectic Lie algebroids

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Shifted symplectic Lie and Linfty algebroids model formal neighbourhoods of manifolds in shifted symplectic stacks, and serve as target spaces for twisted variants of classical AKSZ topological field theory. In this paper, we classify zero-, one- and two-shifted symplectic algebroids and their higher gauge symmetries, in terms of classical geometric "higher structures", such as Courant algebroids twisted by Omega2-gerbes. As applications, we produce new examples of twisted Courant algebroids from codimension-two cycles, and we give symplectic interpretations for several well known features of higher structures (such as twists, Pontryagin classes, and tensor products). The proofs are valid in the Cinfty, holomorphic and algebraic settings, and are based on a number of technical results on the homotopy theory of Linfty algebroids and their differential forms, which may be of independent interest.
