Transferring $A_\infty$-structure from a module to its homology
Given an $A_\infty$-module $M$, which is a graded module $M=\bigoplus_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}M_k$ with morphisms $m_n^M\colon A^{\otimes(n-1)}\otimes M\rightarrow M$ of degree 2-n satisfying the $A_\infty$ ...

Minimal model for $A_\infty$-categories
Is there a reference for existence and construction of the minimal model of an $A_\infty$-category? Most references I found ultimately refer to Lefèvre-Hasegawa's thesis but there doesn't seem to be a ...

Examples of cyclic A-infinity algebra
I am wondering about (references to) examples of cyclic A-infinity algebras- especially including explicit descriptions of the structure maps and pairing.
Thanks a lot!

Strict units in A-infinity algebras
In Kontsevich-Soibelman's paper "Notes on $A_\infty$-algebras, $A_\infty$-categories and non-commutative geometry", $A_\infty$-algebras with strict units are defined so units act trivially on higher ...

Tensor product of $A_{\infty}$ algebra morphisms, reference
Let $\Bbbk$ be a field of charachteristic zero. Let $(A, m_{\bullet}^{A})$ be an unital $A_{\infty}$ algebra. Let $B$ be a differential graded algebra. Then $B\otimes A$ carries an $A_{\infty}$ ...

(co)chain homotopy of dg algebras ($A_{\infty}$ algebras) and other notion of homotopy
In this question I will work over a field of char. $0$. Let $f,g\: : \: A\to B$ be dg algebras morphism between two cochain (commutative) dg algebras $A,B$ (assume positively graded). Let $h$ be a ...

Isomorphisms between minimal $A_\infty$-algebras having identical $k$-truncations
Let $A_m =(A,0,m_2,m_3,\dots)$ and $A_n=(A,0,n_2,n_3,\dots)$ be two $A_\infty$-structures on a vector space $A$. Assume that
i) $A_m$ and $A_n$ are isomorphic, and
ii) $A_m$ and $A_n$ have the same ...

Why are quasi-isomorphisms of homotopy algebras only defined for arity 1?
When reading about homotopy algebras (e.g. $L_\infty$-algebras, $A_\infty$-algebras), an $\infty$-morphism $f$ is called an $\infty$-quasi-isomorphism if $f_1$ is a quasi-isomorphism.

Does there exist a model of chains on oriented manifolds with both a strict intersection pairing and strict functoriality for closed embeddings?
Let $M$ be a smooth oriented $n$-dimensional manifold. My favorite model of $\operatorname{Chains}_\bullet(M) \otimes \mathbb R$ is the space of smooth compactly-supported de Rham forms on $M$, ...

triangulated vs. dg/A-infinity
Someone recently said "derived/triangulated categories are an abomination that should struck from the earth and replaced with dg/A-infinity versions".
I have a rough idea why this is true ("don't ...
