Actions, Charges and Off-Shell Fields in the Unfolded Dynamics Approach

Within unfolded dynamics approach, we represent actions and conserved charges as elements of cohomology of the $L_{\mathrm{\infty }}$ algebra underlying the unfolded formulation of a given dynamical system. The unfolded off-shell constraints for symmetric fields of all spins in Minkowski space are shown to have the form of zero curvature and covariant constancy conditions for 1-forms and 0-forms taking values in an appropriate star product algebra. Unfolded formulation of Yang-Mills and Einstein equations is presented in a closed form.
