| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:48 | comment | added | Vladimir Dotsenko | @DamienC perhaps ! I think one should distinguish between two different situations - exciting mathematics that physicists come up with in a non-rigorous way that is later formalised into something beautiful and rigorous, and situations where physicists come up with something which is reminiscent of something in mathematics literature, and go many miles to try and draw the links even when in reality there are none. To be honest, I am not quite sure which of the two is prevalent in that paper. | |
| Feb 28, 2020 at 23:13 | comment | added | DamienC | @VladimirDotsenko: you are right that there is room for improvement, but this survey is actually a very nice one, despite a few inaccuracies. I like very much how the physics that is behing all this is introduced. | |

| Feb 28, 2020 at 19:13 | comment | added | Vladimir Dotsenko | Dear Jim, it is a little bit unfortunate that what you describe as a good review of where nonassociativity can be found in physics is written in a very careless way. On page 4, it is claimed that the Jordan identity is equivalent to power-associativity, and the identity (1.12) is called the alternative property (whereas this is what is called the flexible identity). People who wish to use nonassociative algebras should really start with getting their definitions and statements right. | |

rephrased the question so that it's now a bit more specific, and added a reference that as given in the comments

Needs details or clarity | |
| Jul 4, 2019 at 14:49 | comment | added | Jim Stasheff | good overview of where nonassociativity can be found in physics. arxiv.org/pdf/1903.05673.pdf | |
| Jul 4, 2019 at 0:57 | comment | added | Jim Stasheff | will try to provide both. yes, what goes in the blank.. Maxim = Kontsevich and I meant his Formality L_\infty morphism. References tomorrow. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 1:08 | comment | added | AlexArvanitakis | seconded; I'd also like to see the physics refs | |

| Jul 2, 2019 at 23:33 | comment | added | LSpice | Is the question "what goes in the blank?"? Also, it would be nice to see more detailed references to several physicists and Maxim's morphisms. | |
