Homotopical algebra for Lie algebroids

Joost Nuiten

Abstract

We construct Quillen equivalent semi-model structures on the categories of dg-Lie algebroids and $L_\infty$-algebroids over a commutative dg-algebra in characteristic zero. This allows one to apply the usual methods of homotopical algebra to dg-Lie algebroids: for example, every Lie algebroid can be resolved by dg-Lie algebroids that arise from dg-Lie algebras, i.e. that have a null-homotopic anchor map. As an application, we show how Lie algebroid cohomology is represented by an object in the homotopy category of dg-Lie algebroids.

Homotopical algebra for Lie algebroids

Abstract

We construct Quillen equivalent semi-model structures on the categories of dg-Lie algebroids and -algebroids over a commutative dg-algebra in characteristic zero. This allows one to apply the usual methods of homotopical algebra to dg-Lie algebroids: for example, every Lie algebroid can be resolved by dg-Lie algebroids that arise from dg-Lie algebras, i.e. that have a null-homotopic anchor map. As an application, we show how Lie algebroid cohomology is represented by an object in the homotopy category of dg-Lie algebroids.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Let $A$ be a commutative dg-algebra over a field of characteristic zero. The category of dg-Lie algebroids carries a semi-model structure, in which a map is a weak equivalence (fibration) if it is a quasi-isomorphism (degreewise surjective).
