BooksMaurer--Cartan methods in deformation theory: the twisting procedure, with Vladimir Dotesnko and Sergey Shadrin, 181 pages, London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Cambridge University Press (2023).
This monograph provides an overview on the Maurer-Cartan methods in algebra, geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. It offers a conceptual, exhaustive and gentle treatment of the twisting procedure, which functorially creates new differential graded Lie algebras, associative algebras or operads (as well as their homotopy versions) from a Maurer-Cartan element. Algebraic Operads, with Jean-Louis Loday, 654 pages, Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, Volume 346, Springer-Verlag (2012). This book contains three main parts on Koszul duality theory, algebraic operads and homotopical algebra respectively.
