Abstract

We formulate a deformation of Rozansky-Witten theory analogous to the Ω\Omega-deformation. It is applicable when the target space XX is hyperk\"ahler and the spacetime is of the form R×Σ\mathbb{R} \times \Sigma, with Σ\Sigma being a Riemann surface. In the case that Σ\Sigma is a disk, the Ω\Omega-deformed Rozansky-Witten theory quantizes a symplectic submanifold of XX, thereby providing a new perspective on quantization. As applications, we elucidate two phenomena in four-dimensional gauge theory from this point of view. One is a correspondence between the Ω\Omega-deformation and quantization of integrable systems. The other concerns supersymmetric loop operators and quantization of the algebra of holomorphic functions on a hyperk\"ahler manifold.
