Semidirect products of representations up to homotopy

Yunhe Sheng and Chenchang Zhu

Vol. 249 (2011), No. 1, 211–236
Abstract

We study the semidirect product of a Lie algebra with a representation up to homotopy and provide various examples coming from Courant algebroids, Lie 2-algebras of string type, and omni-Lie algebroids. In the end, we study the semidirect product of a Lie group with a representation up to homotopy and use it to give an integration of a certain Lie 2-algebra of string type.

Keywords
