Abstract
In the present work, we extend our previous work with Gwilliam by realizing as the projective volume form associated to the BV operator in our quanitization of a one-dimensional sigma model. We also discuss the associated integration/expectation map. We work in the formalism of spaces, objects of which are computationally convenient presentations for derived stacks. Both smooth and complex geometry embed into spaces and we specialize our results in both of these cases.
