We extend the author's and CPTVV's correspondence between shifted symplectic and Poisson structures to establish a correspondence between exact shifted symplectic structures and non-degenerate shifted Poisson structures with formal…

Let D be a simply laced Dynkin diagram of rank r whose affinization has the shape of a star (i.e., D4,E6,E7,E8). To such a diagram one can attach a group G whose generators correspond to the legs of the affinization, have orders equal to…

This paper provides an explicit interface between J. Lurie's work on higher centers, and the Hochschild cohomology of an algebraic $\mathbb{k}$-scheme within the framework of deformation quantization. We first recover a canonical solution…

We generalise Hinich's Theorem of descent of Deligne groupoids to the case where the dgLas involved have no negative cohomology. We apply this result to study the infinitesimal deformations of a morphism $\alpha: {\mathcal F} \to {\mathcal…

We define cofinite graphs and cofinite groupoids in a unified way that extends the notion of cofinite groups introduced by Hartley. The common underlying structure of all these objects is that they are directed graphs endowed with a certain…

Using Gromov-Witten theory the numbers of complex plane rational curves of degree d through 3d-1 general given points can be computed recursively with Kontsevich's formula that follows from the so-called WDVV equations. In this paper we…

Let $A = \Bbbk Q / I$ be the path algebra of any finite quiver $Q$ modulo any two-sided ideal $I$ of relations and let $R$ be any reduction system satisfying the diamond condition for $I$. We introduce an intrinsic notion of deformation of…

There is considerable current interest in applications of generalised Lie algebras graded by an abelian group $\Gamma$ with a commutative factor $\omega$. This calls for a systematic development of the theory of such algebraic structures.…

We extend the construction of [19] by introducing spaces of generalized tensor fields on smooth manifolds that possess optimal embedding and consistency properties with spaces of tensor distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. We thereby…

We start with a short exposition of developments in physics and mathematics that preceded, formed the basis for, or accompanied, the birth of deformation quantization in the seventies. We indicate how the latter is at least a viable…

The main purpose of this article is to develop an explicit derived deformation theory of algebraic structures at a high level of generality, encompassing in a common framework various kinds of algebras (associative, commutative, Poisson...)…

Recently, the first author with A. Ardehali, M. Lemos, and L. Rastelli introduced the notion of graded unitarity for vertex algebras. This generalization of unitarity is motivated by the SCFT/VOA correspondence and introduces a novel…

We propose (and prove under some restrictions) that the square class of the central value of the $L$-function of an everywhere unramified symplectic Galois representation is given by a universal cohomological formula. This phenomenon is…

We give a general method for constructing explicit and natural operations on the Hochschild complex of algebras over any PROP with $A_\infty$--multiplication---we think of such algebras as $A_\infty$--algebras "with extra structure". As…

Kontsevich's formula for rational plane curves is a recursive relation for the number $N_d$ of degree $d$ rational curves in $\mathbb{P}^2$ passing through $3d-1$ general points. We provide two proofs of this recursion: the first more…

In this work, it is established that for a generic projective hypersurface $H\subset\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ of degree $d\geq(5n)^2\,n^{n}$, any holomorphic entire curve $f\colon\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})\setminus H$ has its…

Inspired by Feynman integral computations in quantum field theory, Kontsevich conjectured in 1997 that the number of points of graph hypersurfaces over a finite field $\F_q$ is a (quasi-) polynomial in $q$. Stembridge verified this for all…

The Dolbeault resolution of the sheaf of holomorphic vector fields $Lie$ on a complex manifold $M$ relates $Lie$ to a sheaf of differential graded Lie algebras, known as the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis algebra $g$. We establish - following B. L.…

Motivated by obtaining a consistent mathematical description for the radiation reaction of point charged particles in linear classical electrodynamics, a theory of generalized higher order tensors and differential forms is introduced. The…

We study an algebraic deformation problem which captures the data of the general deformation problem for a quantum vertex algebra. We derive a system of coupled equations which is the counterpart of the Maurer-Cartan equation on the usual…
