AbstractThe gauge theories underlying gauged supergravity and exceptional field theory are based on tensor hierarchies: generalizations of Yang-Mills theory utilizing algebraic structures that generalize Lie algebras and, as a consequence, require higher-form gauge fields. Recently, we proposed that the algebraic structure allowing for consistent tensor hierarchies is axiomatized by ‘infinity-enhanced Leibniz algebras’ defined on graded vector spaces generalizing Leibniz algebras. It was subsequently shown that, upon appending additional vector spaces, this structure can be reinterpreted as a differential graded Lie algebra. We use this observation to streamline the construction of general tensor hierarchies, and we formulate dynamics in terms of a hierarchy of first-order duality relations, including scalar fields with a potential.

Abstract In this note, we interpret Leibniz algebras as differential graded (DG) Lie algebras. Namely, we consider two fully faithful functors from the category of Leibniz algebras to that of DG Lie algebras and show that they naturally give rise to the Leibniz cohomology and the Chevalley–Eilenberg cohomology. As an application, we prove a conjecture stated by Pirashvili in [ 9].
