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…
Let $i: \mathrm{L} \hookrightarrow \mathrm{X}$ be a compact K\"{a}hler Lagrangian in a holomorphic symplectic variety $\mathrm{X}/\mathbf{C}$. We use deformation quantisation to show that the endomorphism differential graded algebra…
We give a quantum field theory interpretation of Kontsevich's deformation quantization formula for Poisson manifolds. We show that it is given by the perturbative expansion of the path integral of a simple topological bosonic open string…
We show that the zeroth cohomology of M. Kontsevich's graph complex is isomorphic to the Grothendieck-Teichmueller Lie algebra grt_1. The map is explicitly described. This result has applications to deformation quantization and Duflo…
In this paper we study a natural extension of Kontsevich's characteristic class construction for A-infinity and L-infinity algebras to the case of curved algebras. These define homology classes on a variant of his graph homology which…
We define a morphism from the deformation complex of a Lie groupoid to the Hochschild complex of its convolution algebra, and show that it maps the class of a geometric deformation to the algebraic class of the induced deformation in…
For a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, the Duflo map $S\mathfrak{g}\rightarrow U\mathfrak{g}$ defines an isomorphism of $\mathfrak{g}$-modules. On $\mathfrak{g}$-invariant elements it gives an isomorphism of algebras.…
Let $(g,\delta_\hbar)$ be a Lie bialgebra. Let $(U_\hbar(g),\Delta_\hbar)$ a quantization of $(g,\delta_\hbar)$ through Etingof-Kazhdan functor. We prove the existence of a $L_\infty$-morphism between the Lie algebra $C(\g)=\Lambda(g)$ and…
The global formality of Dolgushev depends on the choice of a torsion-free covariant derivative. We prove that the globalized formalities with respect to two different covariant derivatives are homotopic. More explicitly, we derive the…
The deformation theory of a Dirac structure is controlled by a differential graded Lie algebra which depends on the choice of an auxiliary transversal Dirac structure; if the transversal is not involutive, one obtains an $L_\infty$ algebra…
A theorem of Kontsevich relates the homology of certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras to graph homology. We formulate this theorem using the language of reversible operads and mated species. All ideas are explained using a pictorial…
Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings and a unitary local system V on it. We consider a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of forms with holomorphic logarithmic singularities…
In this paper, we study deformation quantization of symplectic vector fields \`a la Fedosov. We show that each symplectic vector field can be quantized to a derivation of the deformed star algebra. Moreover, we show that this quantization…
We give a proof of Kontsevich's formality theorem for a general manifold using Fedosov resolutions of algebras of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. The main advantage of our construction of the formality quasi-isomorphism is…
We give some formality criteria for a differential graded Lie algebra to be formal. For instance, we show that a DG-Lie algebra L is formal if and only if the natural spectral sequence computing the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology H(L,L)…
Let $A$ be a star product on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega_0)$, $\frac{1}{t}[\omega]$ its Fedosov class, where $\omega$ is a deformation of $\omega_0$. We prove that for a complex polarization of $\omega$ there exists a commutative…
In this article, we use Harrison cohomology to provide a framework for commutative deformations. In particular, Kontsevich's result that formality of (the Hochschild complex of) an associative algebra implies its deformability is adapted…
We extend the formality theorem of Maxim Kontsevich from deformations of the structure sheaf on a manifold to deformations of gerbes on smooth and complex manifolds.
I have chosen, in this presentation of Deformation Quantization, to focus on 3 points: the uniqueness --up to equivalence-- of a universal star product (universal in the sense of Kontsevich) on the dual of a Lie algebra, the cohomology…
Given a Lie algebra with a scalar product, one may consider the latter as a symplectic structure on a $dg$-scheme, which is the spectrum of the Chevalley--Eilenberg algebra. In the first section we explicitly calculate the first order…
