Abstract

We study the quantization of the canonical unshifted Poisson structure on the derived cotangent stack T[X/G]T^\ast[X/G] of a quotient stack, where XX is a smooth affine scheme with an action of a (reductive) smooth affine group scheme GG. This is achieved through an {\'e}tale resolution of T[X/G]T^\ast[X/G] by stacky CDGAs that allows for an explicit description of the canonical Poisson structure on T[X/G]T^\ast[X/G] and of the dg-category of modules quantizing it. These techniques are applied to construct a dg-category-valued prefactorization algebra that quantizes a gauge theory on directed graphs.
