It is a classical fact in Poisson geometry that the cotangent bundle of a Poisson manifold has the structure of a Lie algebroid. Manifestations of this structure are the Lichnerowicz differential on multivector fields (calculating Poisson…

We introduce a formal $\hbar$-differential operator $\Delta$ that generates higher Koszul brackets on the algebra of (pseudo)differential forms on a $P_{\infty}$-manifold. Such an operator was first mentioned by Khudaverdian and Voronov in…

We generalize to the homotopy case a result of K. Mackenzie and P. Xu on relation between Lie bialgebroids and Poisson geometry. For a homotopy Poisson structure on a supermanifold $M$, we show that $(TM, T^*M)$ has a canonical structure of…

We canonically quantize a Poisson manifold to a Lie 2-groupoid, complete with a quantization map, and show that it relates geometric and deformation quantization: the perturbative expansion in $\hbar$ of the (formal) convolution of two…

We show that if a generator of a differential Gerstenhaber algebra satisfies certain Cartan-type identities, then the corresponding Lie bracket is formal. Geometric examples include the shifted de Rham complex of a Poisson manifold and the…

Given a Poisson structure (or, equivalently, a Hamiltonian operator) $P$, we show that its Lie derivative $L_{\tau}(P)$ along a vector field $\tau$ defines another Poisson structure, which is automatically compatible with $P$, if and only…

Notwithstanding known obstructions to this idea, we formulate an attempt to turn quantization into a functorial procedure. We define a category PO of Poisson manifolds, whose objects are integrable Poisson manifolds and whose arrows are…

Let $n\ge 1$ and $A$ be a commutative algebra of the form $\boldsymbol k[x_1,x_2,\dots, x_n]/I$ where $\boldsymbol k$ is a field of characteristic $0$ and $I\subseteq \boldsymbol k[x_1,x_2,\dots, x_n]$ is an ideal. Assume that there is a…

Let $\boldsymbol{k}$ be a field of characteristic zero and $A=\boldsymbol{k}[x_{1},...,x_{n}]/I$ with $I=(f_{1},...,f_{k})$ be an affine algebra. We study Nambu-Poisson brackets on $A$ of arity $m\geq 2$, focusing on the case when $m$ is…

We show that $L_{\infty}$-algebroids, understood in terms of Q-manifolds can be described in terms of certain higher Schouten and Poisson structures on graded (super)manifolds. This generalises known constructions for Lie (super)algebras…

Kontsevich's formula for a deformation quantization of Poisson structures involves a Feynman series of graphs, with the weights given by some complicated integrals (using certain pullbacks of the standard angle form on a circe). We explain…

Let M be a coadjoint semisimple orbit of a simple Lie group G. Let $U_h(\g)$ be a quantum group corresponding to G. We construct a universal family of $U_h(\g)$ invariant quantizations of the sheaf of functions on M and describe all such…

Let M be a manifold endowed with a symmetric affine connection $\Gamma.$ The aim of this paper is to describe a quantization map between the space of second-order polynomials on the cotangent bundle T^{*} M and the space of second-order…

In this paper we propose a reduction scheme for polydifferential operators phrased in terms of $L_\infty$-morphisms. The desired reduction $L_\infty$-morphism has been obtained by applying an explicit version of the homotopy transfer…

We study one and two parameter quantizations of the function algebra on a semisimple orbit in the coadjoint representation of a simple Lie group subject to the condition that the multiplication on the quantized algebra is invariant under…

Let $\{{\cdot},{\cdot}\}_{\boldsymbol{\mathcal{P}}}$ be a variational Poisson bracket in a field model on an affine bundle $\pi$ over an affine base manifold $M^m$. Denote by $\times$ the commutative associative multiplication in the…

In quantum physics, the operators associated with the position and the momentum of a particle are unbounded operators and $C^*$-algebraic quantisation does therefore not deal with such operators. In the present article, I propose a…

We describe a deformation quantization of a modification of Poisson geometry by a closed 3-form. Under suitable conditions it gives rise to a stack of algebras. The basic object used for this aim is a kind of families of Poisson structures…

In this paper, we study quantization on a compact integral symplectic manifold $X$ with transversal real polarizations. In the case of complex polarizations, namely $X$ is K\"ahler equipped with transversal complex polarizations $T^{1, 0}X,…

A new invariant of Poisson manifolds, a Poisson K-ring, is introduced. Hypothetically, this invariant is more tractable than such invariants as Poisson (co)homology. A version of this invariant is also defined for arbitrary algebroids.…
