A simple construction of the Rumin algebra
Abstract
The Rumin algebra of a contact manifold is a contact invariant C∞-algebra of differential forms which computes the de Rham cohomology algebra. We recover this fact by giving a simple and explicit construction of the Rumin algebra via Markl's formulation of the Homotopy Transfer Theorem.
