Formality theorem with coefficients in a module

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, X will denote a calCinfty 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, Gamma(X,EDpoly∗), and showed that it is formal. Denote by Gamma(X,ETpoly∗) the DGLA of E-polyvector fields. Considering M, a module over E, we define Gamma(X,ETpoly∗(M)) the Gamma(X,ETpoly∗)-module of E-polyvector fields with values in M. Similarly, we define the Gamma(X,EDpoly∗)-module of E-polydifferential operators with values in M, Gamma(X,EDpoly∗(M)). We show that there is a quasi-isomorphism of Linfty-modules over Gamma(X,ETpoly∗) from Gamma(X,ETpoly∗(M)) to Gamma(X,EDpoly∗(M)). Our result extends Calaque 's (and Kontsevich's) result.


It is known that the differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of polydifferential operators on any \(C^\infty\)-manifold \(X\) is formal (after Kontsevich) and it is true for any Lie algebroid \(E\) over \(X\) too (after Calaque) [see [\textit{D. Calaque}, Commun. Math. Phys. 257, No. 3, 563--578 (2005; Zbl 1079.53138)]. In the paper under review this formality is extended for a module \(M\) over \(E\), namely, for a DGLA of E-polyvector fields with values in \(M\) .
