Shifted derived Poisson manifolds associated with Lie pairs (1712.00665v2)

Abstract: We study the shifted analogue of the "Lie--Poisson" construction for $L_\infty$ algebroids and we prove that any $L_\infty$ algebroid naturally gives rise to shifted derived Poisson manifolds. We also investigate derived Poisson structures from a purely algebraic perspective and, in particular, we establish a homotopy transfer theorem for derived Poisson algebras. As an application, we prove that, given a Lie pair $(L,A)$, the space $\operatorname{tot}\Omega^{\bullet}_A(\Lambda^\bullet(L/A))$ admits a degree $(+1)$ derived Poisson algebra structure with the wedge product as associative multiplication and the Chevalley--Eilenberg differential $d_A^{\operatorname{Bott}}:\Omega^{\bullet}_A(\Lambda^\bullet(L/A))\to \Omega^{\bullet +1}A(\Lambda^\bullet(L/A))$ as unary $L\infty$ bracket. This degree $(+1)$ derived Poisson algebra structure on $\operatorname{tot}\Omega^{\bullet}_A(\Lambda^\bullet(L/A))$ is unique up to an isomorphism having the identity map as first Taylor coefficient. Consequently, the Chevalley--Eilenberg hypercohomology $\mathbb{H}(\Omega^{\bullet}_A(\Lambda^\bullet(L/A)),d_A^{\operatorname{Bott}})$ admits a canonical Gerstenhaber algebra structure.
