Abstract

We prove a version of Kontsevich's formality theorem for two subspaces (branes) of a vector space XX. The result implies in particular that the Kontsevich deformation quantizations of S(X)\mathrm{S}(X^*) and (X)\wedge(X) associated with a quadratic Poisson structure are Koszul dual. This answers an open question in Shoikhet's recent paper on Koszul duality in deformation quantization.

Comments

40 pages, 15 figures; a small change of notations in the definition of the 4-colored propagators; an Addendum about the appearance of loops in the $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism and a corresponding change in the proof of Theorem 7.2; several changes regarding completions, when dealing with general $A_\infty$-structures
