The Ext algebra of a quantized cycle

Abstract

Given a quantized analytic cycle (X,σ)(X, \sigma) in YY, we give a categorical Lie-theoretic interpretation of a geometric condition, discovered by Shilin Yu, that involves the second formal neighbourhood of XX in YY. If this condition (that we call tameness) is satisfied, we prove that the derived Ext algebra RHomOY(OX,OX)\mathcal{RH}om_{\mathcal{O}_Y}(\mathcal{O}_X, \mathcal{O}_X) is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of the shifted normal bundle NX/Y[1]\mathrm{N}_{X/Y}[-1] endowed with a specific Lie structure, strengthening an earlier result of C\u{a}ld\u{a}raru, Tu, and the first author This approach allows to get some conceptual proofs of many important results in the theory: in the case of the diagonal embedding, we recover former results of Kapranov, Markarian, and Ramadoss about (a) the Lie structure on the shifted tangent bundle TX[1]\mathrm{T}_X[-1] (b) the corresponding universal enveloping algebra (c) the calculation of Kapranov's big Chern classes. We also give a new Lie-theoretic proof of Yu's result for the explicit calculation of the quantized cycle class in the tame case: it is the Duflo element of the Lie algebra object NX/Y[1]\mathrm{N}_{X/Y}[-1].
