L_infinity algebras as 1-jets of simplicial manifolds (and a bit beyond)
Abstract
Description
The procedure "Lie group --> Lie algebra" has a generalization
"simplicial manifold --> L_infinity algebra", or yet better,
"presheaf on the category of surjective submersions --> L_infinity algebra".
We describe this generalization, together with its higher-order extensions.
