Abstract: We will study how higher order Whitehead products are captured by Quillen’s models for rational homotopy theory. Then, we will endow the rational homotopy Lie algebra of a space X with a natural L-infinity structure. Finally, we will discuss about the relationship between the higher induced brackets and the higher order rational Whitehead products. The talk is based on joint work with F. Belchí, U. Buijs and A. Murillo.
