homotopy associative algebra

Definición

In mathematics, an algebra such as ${\\displaystyle (\\mathbb {R} ,+,\\cdot )}$ has multiplication ${\\displaystyle \\cdot }$ whose associativity is well-defined on the nose. This means for any real numbers ${\\displaystyle a,b,c\\in \\mathbb {R} }$ we have
${\\displaystyle a\\cdot (b\\cdot c)-(a\\cdot b)\\cdot c=0}$ .
But, there are algebras ${\\displaystyle R}$ which are not necessarily associative, meaning if ${\\displaystyle a,b,c\\in R}$ then
${\\displaystyle a\\cdot (b\\cdot c)-(a\\cdot b)\\cdot c\ eq 0}$
in general. There is a notion of algebras, called ${\\displaystyle A_{\\infty }}$ -algebras, which still have a property on the multiplication which still acts like the first relation, meaning associativity holds, but only holds up to a homotopy, which is a way to say after an operation "compressing" the information in the algebra, the multiplication is associative. This means although we get something which looks like the second equation, the one of inequality, we actually get equality after "compressing" the information in the algebra.
