Deformations of associative algebras with inner products

John Terilla and Thomas Tradler

We develop the deformation theory of A algebras together with ∞-inner products and identify a differential graded Lie algebra that controls the theory. This generalizes the deformation theories of associative algebras, A algebras, associative algebras with inner products, and A algebras with inner products.
