We present the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology of Koszul algebras defined by quivers and relations using the idea of homotopy liftings. E.L. Green, G. Hartman, E.N. Marcos and O. Solberg provided a canonical way…
In this paper we prove Lie algebroid versions of Tsygan's formality conjecture for Hochschild chains both in the smooth and holomorphic settings. In the holomorphic setting our result implies a version of Tsygan's formality conjecture for…
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 prove formulas of different types that allow to calculate the Gerstenhaber bracket on the Hochschild cohomology of an algebra using some arbitrary projective bimodule resolution for it. Using one of these formulas, we give a new short…
We start by clarifying and extending the multibraces notation, which economically describes substitutions of multilinear maps and tensor products of vectors. We give definitions and examples of homotopy algebras, strongly homotopy…
In this expository note, we explain the so-called Van den Bergh functor, which enables the formalization of the Kontsevich-Rosenberg principle, whereby a structure on an associative algebra has geometric meaning if it induces standard…
We construct a family of Drinfeld associators interpolating between the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov associator, the Alekseev-Torossian associator and the anti-Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov associator. We give explicit integral formul\ae\ for the family…
A hom-associative algebra is an algebra whose associativity is twisted by an algebra homomorphism. It was previously shown by the author that the Hochschild cohomology of a hom-associative algebra $A$ carries a Gerstenhaber structure. In…
The primary aim of this essay, drawn from the author's MMath dissertation at Oxford, is to present and explain Kontsevich's formality theorem. The first two sections introduce the main topic. Sections 3 and 4 discuss Hochschild…
In \cite{KOT:MORITA}, Kotschick and Morita showed that the Gel'fand-Kalinin-Fuks class in $\ds \HGF{7}{2}{}{8}$ is decomposed as a product $\eta\wedge \omega $ of some leaf cohomology class $\eta$ and a transverse symplectic class $\omega$.…
We state the analogs of Kontsevich's formality conjecture for Hochschild and cyclic chains, as well as their
It is known that one can associate a Kontsevich-type formality morphism to every Drinfeld associator. We show that this morphism may be extended to a Kontsevich-Shoikhet formality morphism of cochains and chains, by describing the action of…
This paper is based on the author's paper "Koszul duality in deformation quantization, I", with some improvements. In particular, an Introduction is added, and the convergence of the spectral sequence in Lemma 2.1 is rigorously proven. Some…
We show that a graded commutative algebra A with any square zero odd differential operator is a natural generalization of a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. While such an operator of order 2 defines a Gerstenhaber (Lie) algebra structure on A,…
We construct a Frobenius algebra structure on the Hochschild cochains of a group ring k[G] that extends the known structure of a <1, 2> topological quantum field theory on HH^0(k[G]; k[G]), k a field and G a finite group. The convolution…
We study homological properties of a family of algebras called toupie algebras. Our main objective is to obtain the Gerstenhaber structure of their Hochschild cohomology, with the purpose of describing the Lie algebra structure of the first…
Applying recent results by Lowen-Van den Bergh we show that Hochschild cohomology is preserved under Koszul-Moore duality as a Gerstenhaber algebra. More precisely, the corresponding Hochschild complexes are linked by a quasi-isomorphism of…
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…
Using new configuration spaces, we give an explicit construction that extends Kontsevich's Lie-infinity quasi-isomorphism from polyvector fields to Hochschild cochains to a quasi-isomorphism of A-infinity algebras equipped with actions by…
In this short note, we show that the cohomology of an algebra entwined with a coalgebra as defined by T. Brzezi\'nski (J. Algebra 235 (2001), no. 1, 176--202; arXiv:math.RA/9909108) computes the Hochschild cohomology of the subalgebra of…
