When are two HKR isomorphisms equal?

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let XhookrightarrowS be a closed embedding of smooth schemes which splits to first order. An HKR isomorphism is an isomorphism between the shifted normal bundle mathbbNX/S[1] and the derived self-intersection XimesSRX. Given two different first order splittings of a closed embedding, one can obtain two HKR isomorphisms using a construction of Arinkin and Cu{a}ldu{a}raru. A priori, it is not known if the two isomorphisms are equal or not. We define the generalized Atiyah class of a vector bundle on X associated to a closed embedding and two first order splittings. We use the generalized Atiyah class to give sufficient and necessary conditions for when the two HKR isomorphisms are equal over X and over XimesX respectively. When i is the diagonal embedding, there are two natural projections from XimesX to X. We show that the HKR isomorphisms defined by the two projections are equal over X, but not equal over XimesX in general.
