L_∞ and A_∞ structures: then and now [article]

2018 arXiv   pre-print
Looking back over 55 years of higher homotopy structures, I reminisce as I recall the early days and ponder how they developed and how I now see them. From the history of A_∞-structures and later of L_∞ -structures and their progeny, I hope to highlight some old results which seem not to have garnered the attention they deserve as well as some tantalizing new connections.
