Lie 2-algebra moment maps in multisymplectic geometry

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Consider a closed non-degenerate 3-form ωω with an infinitesimal action of a Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}. Motivated by the fact that the observables associated to ωω form a Lie 2-algebra, we introduce homotopy moment maps defined on a Lie 2-algebra rather than just on the Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}. We formulate existence criteria and provide a construction for such homotopy moment maps, by characterizing them in terms of cohomology.
