From Atiyah classes to homotopy Leibniz algebras

Z Chen, M Stiénon, P Xu - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2016 - Springer
A celebrated theorem of Kapranov states that the Atiyah class of the tangent bundle of a
complex manifold X makes TX− 1 into a Lie algebra object in D+(X), the bounded below …

One-dimensional Chern–Simons theory and the  genus

O Gwilliam, R Grady - Algebraic & Geometric Topology, 2014 - msp.org
The Atiyah–Singer index theorem and the mathematics around it–the theory of elliptic and
pseudodifferential operators, K–theory, cobordism, and so on–has a long-standing …

Dg manifolds, formal exponential maps and homotopy Lie algebras

S Seol, M Stiénon, P Xu - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2022 - Springer
This paper is devoted to the study of the relation between 'formal exponential maps,'the
Atiyah class, and Kapranov L∞[1] algebras associated with dg manifolds in the C∞ context …

On the Rozansky–Witten weight systems

J Roberts, S Willerton - Algebraic & Geometric Topology, 2010 - msp.org
Abstract Ideas of Rozansky and Witten, as developed by Kapranov, show that a complex
symplectic manifold X gives rise to Vassiliev weight systems. In this paper we study these …

Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt isomorphisms and Kapranov dg-manifolds

C Laurent-Gengoux, M Stiénon, P Xu - Advances in Mathematics, 2021 - Elsevier
We prove that to every inclusion A↪ L of Lie algebroids over the same base manifold M
corresponds a Kapranov dg-manifold structure on A [1]⊕ L/A, which is canonical up to …

[PDF][PDF] Atiyah classes and Kontsevich–Duflo type theorem for dg manifolds

M Stiénon, P Xu - Banach Center Publications, 2021 - par.nsf.gov
In this expository paper, we survey some recent works on the Atiyah class and other
characteristic classes of dg manifolds. In particular, we describe a Kontsevich–Duflo type …

Hochschild cohomology of dg manifolds associated to integrable distributions

Z Chen, M Xiang, P Xu - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2022 - Springer
For the field K= R or C, and an integrable distribution F⊆ TM⊗ RK on a smooth manifold M,
we study the Hochschild cohomology of the dg manifold (F [1], d F) and establish a …

Rozansky–Witten-type invariants from symplectic Lie pairs

Y Voglaire, P Xu - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2015 - Springer
We introduce symplectic structures on “Lie pairs” of (real or complex) Lie algebroids as
studied by Chen et al.(From Atiyah classes to homotopy Leibniz algebras. arXiv: 1204.1075 …

Loop spaces and Langlands parameters

D Ben-Zvi, D Nadler - arXiv preprint arXiv:0706.0322, 2007 - arxiv.org
We apply the technique of S^ 1-equivariant localization to sheaves on loop spaces in
derived algebraic geometry, and obtain a fundamental link between two families of …
