Deformation quantisation for (-1)-shifted symplectic structures and vanishing cycles

Algebraic Geometry 2019-01-03 v5

Abstract

We formulate a notion of E0E_0 quantisation of (1)(-1)-Poisson structures on derived Artin NN-stacks, and construct a map from E0E_0 quantisations of (1)(-1)-shifted symplectic structures to power series in de Rham cohomology. For a square root of the dualising line bundle, this gives an equivalence between even power series and self-dual quantisations. In particular, there is a canonical quantisation of any such square root, which localises to recover the perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles on derived DM stacks, thus giving a form of derived categorification of Donaldson--Thomas invariants.
