This follows the work of Lawrence-Sullivan on the (unique) DGLA model of the interval and of Gadish-Griniasty-Lawrence on an explicit symmetric model of the bi-gon. As in the case of the bi-gon, the essential intermediate step is the construction of a symmetric point. Although in this warped geometry of points given by solutions of the Maurer-Cartan equation and lines given by a gauge transformation by Lie algebra elements of grading zero, the medians of a triangle are not concurrent, various other geometric constructions can be carried out. The construction can similarly be applied to give symmetric model of arbitrary $k$-gons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-08T10:37:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B55", "17B01", "55U15" ], "keywords": [ "explicit symmetric dgla model", "explicit symmetric model", "differential graded lie algebra", "essential intermediate step", "construction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
