Abstract

We prove that to every inclusion ALA\hookrightarrow L of Lie algebroids over the same base manifold MM corresponds a Kapranov dg-manifold structure on A[1]L/AA[1]\oplus L/A, which is canonical up to isomorphism. As a consequence, Γ(ΛAL/A)\Gamma(\Lambda^\bullet A^\vee\otimes L/A) carries a canonical L[1]L_\infty[1] algebra structure whose unary bracket is the Chevalley--Eilenberg differential corresponding to the Bott representation of AA on L/AL/A and whose binary bracket is a cocycle representative of the Atiyah class of the Lie pair (L,A)(L,A). To this end, we construct explicit isomorphisms of C(M)C^\infty(M)-coalgebras Γ(S(L/A))U(L)U(L)Γ(A)\Gamma\big(S(L/A)\big)\xrightarrow{\sim}\frac{\mathcal{U}(L)}{\mathcal{U}(L)\Gamma(A)}, which we elect to call Poincar\'e--Birkhoff--Witt maps. These maps admit a recursive characterization that allows for explicit computations. They generalize both the classical symmetrization map S(g)U(g)S(\mathfrak{g})\to\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}) of Lie theory and (the inverse of) the complete symbol map for differential operators. Finally, we prove that the Kapranov dg-manifold A[1]L/AA[1]\oplus L/A is linearizable if and only if the Atiyah class of the Lie pair (L,A)(L,A) vanishes.
