Transferred $L_\infty$-structure from Hochschild dgLA

Let $D_{poly}$ be the differential graded Lie algebra (dgLA) of differentiable Hochschild cochains on a manifold $\mathscr M$, endowed with the usual Gerstenhaber bracket $[-,-]_G$ and Hochschild ...

What algebraic structure characterizes all natural operations between differential operators and differential forms?

On a smooth manifold $M$ one can define various algebraic structures, natural with respect to diffeomorphisms: the differential graded-commutative algebra $\Omega(M)$ of differential forms on $M$; ...

Star product on functions of a Poisson-Lie group

Consider a Poisson-Lie group $G$, with whatever additional requirements (quasi-triangular, compact, simply connected). We can consider $G$ as a Poisson Manifold and apply Kontsevich formality to ...

Analogy between BV formalism and integration by residues

Domenico Fiorenza begins his description of the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism by pointing out an analogy with integration by residues: Take a top form (density) on $\mathbf R$ resp. space of fields; ...

How to optimally distinguish between linearly independent vectors in higher dimensional complex/real space?

I have to distinguish between 4 linearly independent vectors belonging to $\mathbb{C^{16}}$ space by creating a set of Positive Operator Valued Measurements (POVM) that will act on these vectors. I ...

On the cohomology of Kontsevich graph complex

Kontsevich's formality theorem asserts that a certain quasi-isomorphism of chain complexes between the graded Lie algebra of polyvector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and the dg Lie algebra of ...

About the Lie algebra of polyvector fields

I would like to know if someone already did some computations of the group of Lie algebra automorphisms of the algebra of polyvector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$ equiped with the Schouten bracket (or ...

Deformations of Nakajima quiver varieties

Are deformations of Nakajima quiver varieties also Nakajima quiver varieties ? In case the answer to this is (don't k)no(w), here are some simpler things to ask for. (If you're a differential ...
