Lie 2-algebras as Homotopy Algebras Over a Quadratic Operad

We begin by discussing motivation for our consideration of a structure called a Lie 2-algebra, in particular an important class of Lie 2-algebras are the Courant Algebroids introduced in 1990 by Courant. We wish to attach some natural definitions from operad theory, mainly the notion of a module ov...
