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 $M$;
...

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 ...

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;

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Where is the Courant operad discussed?
Where is the Courant operad discussed? And hopefully defined precisely.
By the Courant operad or rather a suitable generalization of operad to accommodate the inner product, the operad whose ...

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 ...

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 ...
