This article develops a unified and intrinsic framework for the theory of Sobolev spaces on vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds. The analytical core of our approach is an explicit higher-order geometric integration by parts formula,…

This paper is about algebro-geometrical structures on a moduli space $\CM$ of anomaly-free BV QFTs with finite number of inequivalent observables or in a finite superselection sector. We show that $\CM$ has the structure of F-manifold -- a…

We use a natural affine connection with nontrivial torsion on an arbitrary almost-Kaehler manifold which respects the almost-Kaehler structure to construct a Fedosov-type deformation quantization on this manifold.

This is a copy of the article published in IMRN (2007). I describe the noncommutative Batalin-Vilkovisky geometry associated naturally with arbitrary modular operad. The classical limit of this geometry is the noncommutative symplectic…

This paper is a mathematical study of quantum correlation functions in quantum field theory within a homotopy algebraic framework motivated from the BV quantization scheme. We characterize quantum correlation functions by algebraic homotopy…

Quantum $L_\infty$ algebras are a generalization of $L_\infty$ algebras with a scalar product and with operations corresponding to higher genus graphs. We construct a minimal model of a given quantum $L_\infty$ algebra via the homological…

In this paper, we study deformation quantization of symplectic vector fields \`a la Fedosov. We show that each symplectic vector field can be quantized to a derivation of the deformed star algebra. Moreover, we show that this quantization…

Using the BV-formalism of mathematical physics an explicit construction for the minimal model of a quantum L-infinity-algebra is given as a formal super integral. The approach taken herein to these formal integrals is axiomatic; they can be…

It is shown how Seiberg-Witten equations can be obtained by means of Fedosov deformation quantization of endomorphism bundle and the corresponding theory of equivalences of star products. In such setting, Seiberg-Witten map can be…

We present a connection between the BFV-complex (abbreviation for Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky complex) and the so-called strong homotopy Lie algebroid associated to a coisotropic submanifold of a Poisson manifold. We prove that the latter…

We implement the so-called Weyl-Heisenberg covariant integral quantization in the case of a classical system constrained by a bounded or semi-bounded geometry. The procedure, which is free of the ordering problem of operators, is…

The sheaf of rings of WKB operators provides a deformation-quantization of the cotangent bundle to a complex manifold. On a complex symplectic manifold $X$ there may not exist a sheaf of rings locally isomorphic to a ring of WKB operators.…

We consider the assembly map for principal bundles with fiber a countable discrete group. We obtain an index-theoretic interpretation of this homomorphism by providing a tensor-product presentation for the module of sections associated to…

We quantize the topological $\sigma$-model. The quantum master equation of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism $\Delta_\rho \Psi = 0$ appears as a condition which eliminates the exact states from the BRST invariant states $\Psi$ defined by $Q…

This paper gives a way to renormalise certain quantum field theories on compact manifolds. Examples include Yang-Mills theory (in dimension 4 only), Chern-Simons theory and holomorphic Chern-Simons theory. The method is within the framework…

Hamiltonians whose symbols are not simply real valued, but matrix or, more generally, endomorphism valued functions appear in many places in physics, examples being the Dirac equation, multicomponent wave equations like electrodynamics in…

The relationship is established between the Fedosov deformation quantization of a general symplectic manifold and the BFV-BRST quantization of constrained dynamical systems. The original symplectic manifold $\mathcal M$ is presented as a…

We develop a framework for studying consistent interactions of local gauge theories, which is based on the presymplectic BV-AKSZ formulation. The advantage of the proposed approach is that it operates in terms of finite-dimensional spaces…

The purpose of this paper is to explain and to generalize, in a homotopical way, the result of Barannikov-Kontsevich and Manin which states that the underlying homology groups of some Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras carry a Frobenius manifold…

The Batalin-Vilkovisky master equations, both classical and quantum, are precisely the integrability equations for deformations of algebras and differential algebras respectively. This is not a coincidence; the Batalin-Vilkovisky approach…
