The aim of this note is to define certain sheaves of vertex algebras on smooth manifolds. For each smooth complex algebraic (or analytic) manifold $X$, we construct a sheaf $\Omega^{ch}_X$, called the {\bf chiral de Rham complex} of $X$. It…
The chiral de Rham complex is a sheaf of vertex algebras {\Omega}^ch_M on any nonsingular algebraic variety or complex manifold M, which contains the ordinary de Rham complex as the weight zero subspace. We show that when M is a Kummer…
We give a complete description of the vertex algebra of global sections of the chiral de Rham complex of an arbitrary compact Ricci-flat K\"ahler manifold.
We give a ``coordinate free'' construction and prove the uniqueness of the vertex algebroid which gives rise to the chiral de Rham complex.
Interpreting the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) as a formal Hamiltonian quantization of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model, we suggest a setup for the study of CDR on manifolds with special holonomy. We show how to systematically…
The space of the global sections of chiral de Rham complex on a compact Ricci-flat K\"ahler manifold is calculated and it is expressed as an invariant subspace of a $\beta\gamma-bc$ system under the action of certain Lie algebra.
The space of global sections of the chiral de Rham complex on any closed complex curve with genus $g \ge2$ is calculated.
Suppose that a finite group $G$ acts on a smooth complex variety $X$. Then this action lifts to the Chiral de Rham Complex of $X$ and to its cohomology by automorphisms of the vertex algebra structure. We define twisted sectors for the…
This paper is a sequel to math.AG/9803041. It consists of three parts. In the first part we give certain construction of vertex algebras which includes in particular the ones appearing in op. cit. In the second part we show how the…
We propose a physical interpretation of the chiral de Rham complex as a formal Hamiltonian quantization of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model. We show that the chiral de Rham complex on a Calabi-Yau manifold carries all information…
We define a version of a derived chiral De Rham complex over a locally complete intersection, thereby "chiralizing" a result by Illusie and Bhatt. A similar construction attaches to a graded ring a dg vertex algebra, which we prove to be…
Chiral de Rham complex introduced by Malikov et al. in 1998, is a sheaf of vertex algebras on any complex analytic manifold or non-singular algebraic variety. Starting from the vertex algebra of global sections of chiral de Rham complex on…
We reinterpret algebraic de Rham cohomology for a possibly singular complex variety X as sheaf cohomology in the site of smooth schemes over X with Voevodsky's h-topology. Our results extend to the algebraic de Rham complex as well. Our…
We construct a sheaf of N=2 vertex algebras naturally associated to any Poisson manifold. The relation of this sheaf to the chiral de Rham complex is discussed. We reprove the result about the existence of two commuting N = 2 superconformal…
We elucidate the comment in (Kapranov-Vasserot, Adv.\ Math., 2011, Remark 5.3.4) that the $1|1$-dimensional factorization structure of the formal superloop space of a smooth algebraic variety $X$ induces the $N_K=1$ SUSY vertex algebra…
We present a superfield formulation of the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintrob in the setting of a general smooth manifold, and use it to endow CDR with superconformal structures of geometric origin. Given a…
The chiral de Rham complex of Malikov, Schechtman, and Vaintrob, is a sheaf of differential graded vertex algebras that exists on any smooth manifold $Z$, and contains the ordinary de Rham complex at weight zero. Given a closed 3-form $H$…
On any Calabi-Yau manifold X one can define a certain sheaf of chiral N=2 superconformal field theories, known as the chiral de Rham complex of X. It depends only on the complex structure of X, and its local structure is described by a…
A singular foliation $\mathcal F$ gives a partition of a manifold $M$ into leaves whose dimension may vary. Associated to a singular foliation are two complexes, that of the diffeological differential forms on the leaf space $M / \mathcal…
We show that when a simplicial Lie group acts on a simplicial manifold $\{X_*\}$, we can construct a bisimplicial manifold and the de Rham complex on it. This complex is quasi-isomorphic to the equivariant simplicial de Rham complex on…
