An A-infinity algebra is a type of algebraic structure that generalizes the concept of a differential graded algebra, allowing for the inclusion of higher homotopies. This structure is defined by a collection of operations that satisfy certain coherence conditions, enabling complex interactions among elements in the algebra. A-infinity algebras play a crucial role in homological algebra and are closely related to operads, which are used to study such algebras' operations systematically.
