L∞ algebras and field theory

We review and develop the general properties of L∞algebras focusing on the gauge structure of the associated field theories. Motivated by the L∞homotopy Lie algebra of closed string field theory and the work of Roytenberg and Weinstein describing the Courant bracket in this language we investigate t...
