Definition

For 𝔤\mathfrak{g} a Lie algebra, its derivation Lie 2-algebra is the corresponding automorphism ∞-Lie algebra:

it is the strict Lie 2-algebra coming from the differential crossed module that is given by the chain complex

:𝔤AdDer(𝔤) \partial : \mathfrak{g} \stackrel{Ad}{\to} Der(\mathfrak{g})

equipped with the canonical Lie action of the derivation Lie algebra Der(𝔤)Der(\mathfrak{g}) on 𝔤\mathfrak{g}.
