A universal enveloping for L-infinity algebrasAbstract: For any L-infinity algebra L, we construct an A-infinity structure on the space of symmetric tensors Sym*(L), which generalizes the classical universal enveloping for Lie algebras. Our construction is based on an invariant homotopy on a cobar construction of the symmetric coalgebra, which is obtained through its relation with permutahedra and Young tableaux.
