The L ∞-algebra of the S-matrix

Abstract We point out that the one-particle-irreducible vacuum correlation functions of a QFT are the structure constants of an L ∞-algebra, whose Jacobi identities hold whenever there are no local gauge anomalies. The LSZ prescription for S-matrix elements is identified as an instance of the “minim...
