Graph complexes in deformation quantization

چکیده
Kontsevich’s formality theorem and the consequent star-product formula rely on the construction of an L∞-morphism between the DGLA of polyvector fields and the DGLA of polydifferential operators. This construction uses a version of graphical calculus. In this article we present the details of this graphical calculus with emphasis on its algebraic features. It is a morphism of differential graded Lie algebras between Kontsevich DGLA of admissible graphs and the Chevalley-Eilenberg DGLA of linear homomorphisms between polyvector fields and polydifferential operators. Kontsevich’s proof of the formality morphism is reexamined in this light and an algebraic framework for discussing the tree-level reduction of Kontsevich’s star-product is briefly described.

PROP profile of deformation quantization and graph complexes with loops and wheels
The first instances of graph complexes have been introduced in the theory of operads and props which have found recently lots of applications in algebra, topology and geometry. Another set of examples has been introduced by Kontsevich [Ko1] as a way to expose highly non-trivial interrelations between certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras and topological objects, including moduli spaces of c...
متن کاملKoszul duality in deformation quantization and Tamarkin’s approach to Kontsevich formality
Let α be a quadratic Poisson bivector on a vector space V . Then one can also consider α as a quadratic Poisson bivector on the vector space V ∗[1]. Fixed a universal deformation quantization (prediction of some complex weights to all Kontsevich graphs [K97]), we have deformation quantization of the both algebras S(V ∗) and Λ(V ). These are graded quadratic algebras, and therefore Koszul algebr...
متن کاملDeformation quantization modules I. Finiteness and duality
Consider a ring K, a topological space X and a sheaf A on X of K[[~]]-algebras. Assuming A ~-adically complete and without ~torsion, we first show how to deduce a coherency theorem for complexes of A -modules from the corresponding property for complexes of A /~A -modules. We apply this result to prove that, under a natural properness condition, the convolution of two coherent kernels over defo...
متن کاملThe necessity of wheels in universal quantization formulas
In the context of formal deformation quantization, we provide an elementary argument showing that any universal quantization formula necessarily involves graphs with wheels.
متن کاملVertex Decomposable Simplicial Complexes Associated to Path Graphs
Introduction Vertex decomposability of a simplicial complex is a combinatorial topological concept which is related to the algebraic properties of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the simplicial complex. This notion was first defined by Provan and Billera in 1980 for k-decomposable pure complexes which is known as vertex decomposable when . Later Bjorner and Wachs extended this concept to non-pure ...
