Abstract
The deformation theory of a Dirac structure is controlled by a differential graded Lie algebra that depends on the choice of an auxiliary transversal Dirac structure; if the transversal is not involutive, one obtains an $L_\infty $ algebra instead. We develop a simplified method for describing this $L_\infty $ algebra and use it to prove that the $L_\infty $ algebras corresponding to different transversals are canonically $L_\infty $–isomorphic. In some cases, this isomorphism provides a formality map, as we show in several examples including (quasi)-Poisson geometry, Dirac structures on Lie groups, and Lie bialgebras. Finally, we apply our result to a classical problem in the deformation theory of complex manifolds; we provide explicit formulas for the Kodaira–Spencer deformation complex of a fixed small deformation of a complex manifold, in terms of the deformation complex of the original manifold.
