There has been a recent and ongoing flurry/blizzard of papers making use of the notion of $L_{\infty }$-algebra in relation to field theory. Here we call attention to just some of the more recent developments, but only in the sense of an antipasto: a small dish with a smattering variety of little foods to stimulate the appetite for the main course, for someone else to serve.

Various authors belong to different cultures and speak various dialects of the $L_{\infty }$ language; we hope to encourage increased cross-fertilization.

死灰复燃大号_∞结构场论

近期和持续不断的论文都在充斥着使用“垃圾邮件”的概念。 ${\mathrm{大号}}_{\infty }$与场论有关的代数。在这里，我们只关注一些最近的发展，但仅在开胃的意义上：一小盘菜，上面散布着各种各样的少量食物，以刺激主菜的食欲，为其他人服务。

各种各样的作家属于不同的文化，并且说不同的方言。 ${\mathrm{大号}}_{\infty }$语; 我们希望鼓励更多的杂交。
