Using Dolgushev's generalization of Fedosov's method for deformation quantization, we give a positive answer to a question of P.Xu: can one prove a formality theorem for Lie algebroids ? As a direct application of this result, we obtain that any triangular Lie bialgebroid is quantizable.
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 Hochschild chains of the structure sheaf of any complex manifold and in the smooth setting this result allows us to describe quantum traces for an arbitrary Poisson Lie algebroid. The proofs are based on the use of Kontsevich's quasi-isomorphism for Hochschild cochains of R[[y_1,...,y_d]], Shoikhet's quasi-isomorphism for Hochschild chains of R[[y_1,...,y_d]]…
In this paper we provide a quantization via formality of Poisson actions of a triangular Lie algebra $(\mathfrak g,r)$ on a smooth manifold $M$. Using the formality of polydifferential operators on Lie algebroids we obtain a deformation quantization of $M$ together with a quantum group $\mathscr{U}_\hbar(\mathfrak{g})$ and a map of associated DGLA's. This motivates a definition of quantum action in terms of $L_\infty$-morphisms which generalizes the one given by Drinfeld.
In this article, $X$ will denote a ${\cal C}^{\infty}$ manifold. In a very famous article, Kontsevich showed that the differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of polydifferential operators on $X$ is formal. Calaque extended this theorem to any Lie algebroid. More precisely, given any Lie algebroid $E$ over $X$, he defined the DGLA of $E$-polydifferential operators, $Γ(X, ^{E}D^{*}_{poly})$, and showed that it is formal. Denote by $Γ(X, ^{E}T^{*}_{poly})$ the DGLA of $E$-polyvector fields. Considering $M$, a module over $E$, we define $Γ(X, ^{E}T_{poly}^{*}(M))$ the $Γ(X, ^{E}T^{*}_{poly})$-modul…
We discuss the differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of Drinfeld modeled on the tensor algebra of the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra g over any field K of characteristic zero. We explicitly analyze the first obstruction to the existence of the formality quasi-isomorphism for this DGLA. Our analysis implies the formality of the DGLA of Drinfeld associated to the two-dimensional Borel algebra b.
Let $(g,δ_\hbar)$ be a Lie bialgebra. Let $(U_\hbar(g),Δ_\hbar)$ a quantization of $(g,δ_\hbar)$ through Etingof-Kazhdan functor. We prove the existence of a $L_\infty$-morphism between the Lie algebra $C(\g)=Λ(g)$ and the tensor algebra $TU=T(U_\hbar(g)[-1])$ with Lie algebra structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket. When $(g,δ_\hbar,r)$ is a coboundary Lie bialgebra, we deduce from the formality morphism the existence of a quantization $R$ of $r$.
We study the L-infinity-formality problem for the Hochschild complex of the universal enveloping algebra of some examples of Lie algebras such as Cartan-3-regular quadratic Lie algebras (for example semisimple Lie algebras and in more detail so(3)), and free Lie algebras generated by a vector space of dimension at least 2. We show that for these examples formality in Kontsevich's sense does NOT hold, although some of them allow unconditioned deformability. We compute the L-infinity-structure on the cohomology given by homotopy transfer in certain cases.
We settle several questions about the theory of universal deformation quantization of Lie bialgebras by giving their complete classification up to homotopy equivalence. An important new technical ingredient introduced in this paper is an endofunctor D in the category of augmented props with the property that for any representation of a prop P in a vector space V the associated prop DP admits an induced representation on the graded commutative tensor algebra S(V) given in terms of polydifferential operators. Applying this functor to the prop LieB of Lie bialgebras we show that universal formali…
A vertex-algebraic analogue of the Lie algebroid complex is constructed, which generalizes the "small" chiral de Rham complex on smooth manifolds. The notion of VSA-inductive sheaves is also introduced. This notion generalizes that of sheaves of vertex superalgebras. The complex mentioned above is constructed as a VSA-inductive sheaf. With this complex, the equivariant Lie algebroid cohomology is generalized to a vertex-algebraic analogue, which we call the chiral equivariant Lie algebroid cohomology. In fact, the notion of the equivariant Lie algebroid cohomology contains that of the equivari…
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 homotopy derivations of the Lie algebra of polyvector fields. One may term this formality a formality of two-colored noncommutative Gerstenhaber homotopy algebras. In our result the action of polyvector fields by homotopy derivations of the wedge product on polyvector fields is not the adjoint action by the Schouten bracket, but a homotopy nontrivial and, in …
Over a field of characteristic zero we prove two formality conditions. We prove that a dg Lie algebra is formal if and only if its universal enveloping algebra is formal. We also prove that a commutative dg algebra is formal as a dg associative algebra if and only if it is formal as a commutative dg algebra. We present some consequences of these theorems in rational homotopy theory.
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) degenerates at second page.
We describe Lie-Rinehart algebras in the tensor category $\mathcal{LM}$ of linear maps in the sense of Loday and Pirashvili and construct a functor from Lie-Rinehart algebras in $\mathcal{LM}$ to Leibniz algebroids.
Courant algebroids are structures which include as examples the doubles of Lie bialgebras and the direct sum of tangent and cotangent bundles with the bracket introduced by T. Courant for the study of Dirac structures. Within the category of Courant algebroids one can construct the doubles of Lie bialgebroids, the infinitesimal objects for Poisson groupoids. We show that Courant algebroids can be considered as strongly homotopy Lie algebras.
In this paper, first we introduce a new approach to the notion of $F$-algebroids, which is a generalization of $F$-manifold algebras and $F$-manifolds, and show that $F$-algebroids are the corresponding semi-classical limits of pre-Lie formal deformations of commutative associative algebroids. Then we use the deformation cohomology of pre-Lie algebroids to study pre-Lie infinitesimal deformations and extension of pre-Lie $n$-deformations to pre-Lie $(n+1)$-deformations of a commutative associative algebroid. Next we develop the theory of Dubrovin's dualities of $F$-algebroids with eventual ide…
In the present paper we explicitly construct deformation quantizations of certain Poisson structures on E^*, where E -> M is a Lie algebroid. Although the considered Poisson structures in general are far from being regular or even symplectic, our construction gets along without Kontsevich's formality theorem but is based on a generalized Fedosov construction. As the whole construction merely uses geometric structures of E we also succeed in determining the dependence of the resulting star products on these data in finding appropriate equivalence transformations between them. Finally, the concr…
We show that there is an equivalence of $\infty$-categories between Lie algebroids and certain kinds of curved Lie algebras. For this we develop a method to study the $\infty$-category of curved Lie algebras using the homotopy theory of algebras over a complete operad.
In this paper, we relate Lie algebroids to Costello's version of derived geometry. For instance, we show that each Lie algebroid $L$-and the natural generalization to dg Lie algebroids-provides an (essentially unique) $L_\infty$ space. More precisely, we construct a faithful functor from the category of Lie algebroids to the category of $L_\infty$ spaces. Then we show that for each Lie algebroid $L$, there is a fully faithful functor from the category of representations up to homotopy of $L$ to the category of vector bundles over the associated $L_\infty$ space. Indeed, this functor sends the …
The $L_\infty$-algebra is an algebraic structure suitable for describing deformation problems. In this paper we construct one $L_\infty$-algebra, which turns out to be a differential graded Lie algebra, to control the deformations of Lie algebroids and a second one to control the deformations of Lie subalgebroids. We also combine these two $L_\infty$-algebras into one to control the simultaneous deformations of a Lie algebroid and its Lie subalgebroids. The results generalize the deformation theory of Lie algebra and Lie subalgebras. Applications of our results include deformations of foliatio…
This work is motivated by a result of Drinfeld on Poisson homogeneous spaces. For each Poisson manifold $P$ with a Poisson action by a Poisson Lie group $G$, we describe a Lie algebroid structure on the direct sum vector bundle $P \times {\frak g} \oplus T^*P$, where ${\frak g}$ is the Lie algebra of $G$. It is built out of the transformation Lie algebroid $P \times {\frak g}$ and the cotangent bundle Lie algebroid $T^*P$ together with a pair of representations of them on each other. When the action of $G$ on $P$ is transitive, the kernel of the anchor map of this Lie algebroid gives a Lie alg…
We show how to extend the construction of Tulczyjew triples to Lie algebroids via graded manifolds. We also provide a generalisation of triangular Lie bialgebroids as higher Poisson and Schouten structures on Lie algebroids.
