Poisson actions up to homotopy and their quantization (Q883182)

The author studies the geometry of Poisson actions up to homotopy. In general, it is not possible to quantize a Poisson manifold with an action of a Lie algebra g so that g acts by derivations on the quantized algebra of functions. However, via the Kontsevich's formality, a Poisson action can be quantized up to homotopy. In this paper, the author studies symmetries up to homotopy of Poisson manifolds and describes their quantizations. Generalizations for Lie bialgebras are considered. Relations between Poisson and Hamiltonian actions are finally obtained.
