We analyze theories with color-kinematics duality from an algebraic perspective and find that any such theory has an underlying BV^{▪}-algebra, extending the ideas of Reiterer [A homotopy BV algebra for Yang-Mills and color-kinematics, arXiv:1912.03110.].

We first explain that color-kinematics duality is a condition for the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin operator and the action of a field theory with cubic interaction terms to double copy to a consistent gauge theory. We then apply this argument to Yang-Mills theory, where color-kinematics duality is known to be satisfied on shell at the tree level.
