Abstract

We prove a direct analogue of the classical Duflo formula in the case of LL_\infty-algebras. We conjecture an analogous formula in the case of an arbitrary Q-manifold. When GG is a compact connected Lie group, the Duflo theorem for the Q-manifold (ΠTG,dDR)(\Pi TG,d_{DR}) is exactly the Duflo theorem for the Lie algebra g=LieGg = Lie G. The corresponding theorem for the Q-manifold (ΠTM,dDR)(\Pi TM,d_{DR}), where MM is an arbitrary smooth manifold, is a generalization of the Duflo theorem for the case of smooth manifolds. On the other hand, the Duflo theorem for the Q-manifold (ΠTˉholM,ˉ)(\Pi \bar T_{hol} M, \bar\partial), where MM is a complex manifold, is a generalization of the M. Kontsevich's ``theorem on complex manifold'' [K1], Sect. 8.4.
