A closer look at Kadeishvili's theorem (1905.10877v2)

Abstract: We give a proof of the Homotopy Transfer Theorem following Kadeishvili's original strategy. Although Kadeishvili originally restricted himself to transferring a dg algebra structure to an $A_\infty$-structure on homology, we will see that a small modification of his argument proves the general case of transferring any kind of $\infty$-algebra structure along a quasi-isomorphism, under weaker hypotheses than existing proofs of this result.
