AKSZ construction for shifted Poisson structures

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-09 v2 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We prove the AKSZ theorem for shifted Poisson structures: if XX is an nn-shifted Poisson derived stack, and YY a dd-oriented derived stack, then the mapping stack Map(Y,X)\underline{\mathrm{Map}}(Y,X) is naturally endowed with an (nd)(n-d)-shifted Poisson structure. For this, we prove that the data of an nn-shifted Poisson structure on a derived Artin stack is equivalent to the data of an (n+1)(n+1)-shifted Lagrangian thickening of it. We also extend the definition of shifted Poisson structures to derived prestacks having a deformation theory and give two applications, one for mapping stacks with a non-proper source and one in BV formalism.
