We express the difference between Poisson bracket and deformed bracket for Kontsevich deformation quantization on any Poisson manifold by means of second derivative of the formality quasi-isomorphism. The counterpart on star products of the…
The algebra of truncated polynomials A_m=Z[x]/(x^m) plays an important role in the theory of Khovanov and Khovanov-Rozansky homology of links. We have demonstrated that Hochschild homology is closely related to Khovanov homology via…
We refine a Le and Murakami uniqueness theorem for the Kontsevich Integral in order to specify the relationship between the two (possibly equal) main universal link invariants: the Kontsevich Integral and the perturbative expression of the…
One way of reconciling classical and quantum mechanics is deformation quantization, which involves deforming the commutative algebra of functions on a Poisson manifold to a non-commutative, associative algebra, reminiscent of the space of…
The semi-classical data attached to stacks of algebroids in the sense of Kashiwara and Kontsevich are Maurer-Cartan elements on complex manifolds, which we call extended Poisson structures as they generalize holomorphic Poisson structures.…
On a flat manifold, M. Kontsevich's formality quasi-isomorphism is compatible with cup-products on tangent cohomology spaces, in the sense that its derivative at any formal Poisson 2-tensor induces an isomorphism of graded commutative…
We study the tangential Poisson cohomology (TP-cohomology) of regular Poisson manifolds, first defined by Lichnerowicz using contravariant tensor fields. We show that for a regular Poisson manifold M, the TP-cohomology coincides with the…
We prove that the Kontsevich tetrahedral flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}_{a:b} (\mathcal{P})$, the right-hand side of which is a linear combination of two differential monomials of degree four in a bi-vector $\mathcal{P}$ on an affine…
We study the ``twisted" Poincar\'e duality of smooth Poisson manifolds, and show that, if the modular vector field is diagonalizable, then there is a mixed complex associated to the Poisson complex, which, combining with the twisted…
We give a conceptual formulation of Kontsevich's `dual construction' producing graph cohomology classes from a differential graded Frobenius algebra with an odd scalar product. Our construction -- whilst equivalent to the original one -- is…
Based on work done by Bonechi, Cattaneo, Felder and Zabzine on Poisson sigma models, we formally show that Kontsevich's star product can be obtained from the twisted convolution algebra of the geometric quantization of a Lie 2-groupoid, one…
Using the curved bc-beta-gamma system (a tensor product of a Heisenberg and a Clifford vertex algebra) we introduce quantum analogy of Lichnerowicz differential. As follows we suggest new machinery for finding the Lichnerowicz-Poisson…
We give a new definition of a universal finite type invariant of three-dimensional oriented rational homology spheres which counts configurations of trivalent graphs in such manifolds. Kontsevich introduced this invariant following Witten's…
Many important problems in extremal combinatorics can be be stated as proving a pure binomial inequality in graph homomorphism numbers, i.e., proving that…
The Kahan discretization of the Lotka-Volterra system, associated with any skew-symmetric graph $\Gamma$, leads to a family of rational maps, parametrized by the step size. When these maps are Poisson maps with respect to the quadratic…
We study the category whose objects are graphs of fixed genus and whose morphisms are contractions. We show that the corresponding contravariant module categories are Noetherian and we study two families of modules over these categories.…
The formality morphism $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{F}}=\{\mathcal{F}_n$, $n\geqslant1\}$ in Kontsevich's deformation quantization is a collection of maps from tensor powers of the differential graded Lie algebra (dgLa) of multivector fields to…
It is a longstanding conjecture that every simple drawing of a complete graph on $n \geq 3$ vertices contains a crossing-free Hamiltonian cycle. We strengthen this conjecture to "there exists a crossing-free Hamiltonian path between each…
We study a class of deformations of infinite-dimensional Poisson manifolds of hydrodynamic type which are of interest in the theory of Frobenius manifolds. We prove two results. First, we show that the second cohomology group of these…
This paper is devoted to the problem of classification, up to smooth isomorphisms or up to orbital equivalence, of smooth integrable vector fields on 2-dimensional surfaces, under some nondegeneracy conditions. The main continuous…
