Definition

A Lie 3-algebra or 33-Lie algebra is a 3-truncated L-∞-algebra. Under Lie integration is the infinitesimal approximation to a Lie 3-group.

Models by 2-crossed modules

A semistrict model for Lie 3-algebras, analogous to that of 3-groupoids that are Gray groupoids is given by differential 2-crossed modules.
