Pre-Lie Deformation Theory
In this paper, we develop the deformation theory controlled
by pre-Lie algebras; the main tool is a new integration theory for preLie algebras. The main field of application lies in homotopy algebra
structures over a Koszul operad; in this case, we provide a homotopical
description of the associated Deligne groupoid. This permits us to give
a conceptual proof, with complete formulae, of the Homotopy Transfer
Theorem by means of gauge action. We provide a clear explanation of
this latter ubiquitous result: there are two gauge elements whose action
on the original structure restrict its inputs and respectively its output to
the homotopy equivalent space. This implies that a homotopy algebra
structure transfers uniformly to a trivial structure on its underlying homology if and only if it is gauge trivial; this is the ultimate generalization
of the d-dbar lemma. 2010 Math. Subj. Class. Primary 18G55; Secondary 13D10, 17B60, 18D50.
