L-infinity maps and twistings

Joseph Chuang and Andrey Lazarev

We give a construction of an L map from any L algebra into its truncated Chevalley-Eilenberg complex as well as its cyclic and A analogues. This map fits with the inclusion into the full Chevalley-Eilenberg complex (or its respective analogues) to form a homotopy fiber sequence of L algebras. Applications to deformation theory and graph homology are given. We employ the machinery of Maurer-Cartan functors in L and A algebras and associated twistings which should be of independent interest.
