How to define the equivalence of Maurer-Cartan elements in an $L_{\infty}$-algebra?

To add a bit to what Damien says, addressing your question on how to generalise the gauge approach (which is equivalent to the approach outlined by Damien, as proved by several people): You can view …

Deformation theory and differential graded Lie algebras

Maybe http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.0889 could be of any help? It's general enough - representations of properads cover a huge variety of cases, from algebraic structures to formal differential geometric …

Is Nijenhuis–Richardson bracket a BV bracket?

There is one silly answer to your question, and you are probably aware of it: if you use as coefficients $S(g)$, the symmetric algebra of $g$, and not just $g$, everything will work wonderfully. Alas …

Weak associativity

Let me assume that the characteristic of the ground field is different from two. Let me start by replacing your identity by something where the existing symmetries are a bit more apparent. I claim tha …

Non-associative deformation quantization

I figured out that in full generality this problem has no chance of leading to a different algebraic structure for which the given one is a quasi-classical limit (like it is for associative/Poisson): …
