Formality and Kontsevich--Duflo type theorems for Lie pairs
Abstract
Kontsevich's formality theorem states that there exists an quasi-isomorphism from the dgla of polyvector fields on a smooth manifold to the dgla of polydifferential operators on , which extends the classical Hochschild--Kostant--Rosenberg map. In this paper, we extend Kontsevich's formality theorem to Lie pairs, a framework which includes a range of diverse geometric contexts such as complex manifolds, foliations, and -manifolds. The spaces and associated with a Lie pair each carry an algebra structure canonical up to isomorphism. These two spaces serve as replacements for the spaces of polyvector fields and polydifferential operators, respectively. Their corresponding cohomology groups and admit canonical Gerstenhaber algebra structures. We establish the following formality theorem for Lie pairs: there exists an quasi isomorphism from to whose first Taylor coefficient is equal to . Here acts on by contraction. Furthermore, we prove a Kontsevich--Duflo type theorem for Lie pairs: the Hochschild--Kostant--Rosenberg map twisted by the square root of the Todd class of the Lie pair is an isomorphism of Gerstenhaber algebras from to . As applications, we establish formality theorems and Kontsevich--Duflo type theorems for complex manifolds, foliations, and -manifolds. In the case of complex manifolds, we recover the Kontsevich--Duflo theorem of complex geometry.
