Abstract

We prove that every 0-shifted symplectic structure on a derived Artin n-stack admits a curved A_{infty } deformation quantisation. The classical method of quantising smooth varieties via quantisations of affine space does not apply in this setting, so we develop a new approach. We construct a map from DQ algebroid quantisations of unshifted symplectic structures on a derived Artin n-stack to power series in de Rham cohomology, depending only on a choice of Drinfeld associator. This gives an equivalence between even power series and certain involutive quantisations, which yield anti-involutive curved A_{infty } deformations of the dg category of perfect complexes. In particular, there is a canonical quantisation associated to every symplectic structure on such a stack, which agrees for smooth varieties with the Kontsevich–Tamarkin quantisation for even associators.

Highlights

  • For n > 0, existence of quantisations of n-shifted Poisson structures is a formality, following from the equivalence En+1 Pn+1 of operads

  • Beyond the setting of smooth Deligne–Mumford stacks, unshifted symplectic structures only arise on objects incorporating both stacky and derived structures, as non-degeneracy of the symplectic form implies that the cotangent complex must have both positive and negative terms

  • Examples of such symplectic derived stacks include the derived moduli stack of perfect complexes on an algebraic K 3 surface, or the derived moduli stack of locally constant G-torsors on a compact oriented topological surface, for an algebraic group G equipped with a Killing form on its Lie algebra

Summary

Introduction

For n > 0, existence of quantisations of n-shifted Poisson structures is a formality, following from the equivalence En+1 Pn+1 of operads. In order to adapt these constructions to 0-shifted symplectic structures, we replace polyvectors or differential operators with the Hochschild complex CCR(X ) of a derived Artin stack X , defined in terms of a resolution by stacky CDGAs (commutative bidifferential bigraded algebras). Since this has an E2-algebra structure, a choice w of Levi decomposition for the Grothendieck–Teichmüller group gives it a Deformation quantisation for unshifted symplectic. I would like to thank the anonymous referee for many helpful comments
