Homotopy unital Ainfinity-algebras
Abstract
It is well known that the differential graded operad of Ainfinity-algebras is a cofibrant replacement (a dg-resolution) of the operad of associative differential graded algebras without units. In this article we find a cofibrant replacement of the operad of associative differential graded algebras with units. Algebras over it are called homotopy unital Ainfinity-algebras. We prove that the operad bimodule of Ainfinity-morphisms is a cofibrant replacement of the operad bimodule of morphisms of dg-algebras without units. Similarly we show that the operad bimodule of homotopy unital Ainfinity-morphisms is a cofibrant replacement of the operad bimodule of morphisms of dg-algebras with units.
