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 “minimal model theorem” of L
∞-algebras. This generalises the algebraic structure of closed string field theory to arbitrary QFTs with a mass gap and leads to recursion relations for amplitudes (albeit ones only immediately useful at tree-level, where they reduce to Berends-Giele-style relations as shown in [1]).
