Abstract

We study quantization schemes on a K\"ahler manifold and relate several interesting structures. We first construct Fedosov's star products on a K\"ahler manifold XX as quantizations of Kapranov's LL_\infty-algebra structure. Then we investigate the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) quantizations associated to these star products. A remarkable feature is that they are all one-loop exact, meaning that the Feynman weights associated to graphs with two or more loops all vanish. This leads to a succinct cochain level formula in de Rham cohomology for the algebraic index.
