Kontsevich's formality conjecture for cyclic cochains

Let MM be a dd-dimensional manifold with volume form ΩΩd(M)\Omega\in\Omega^d(M). Let gSΩ=(gS[v],δΩ)\mathfrak g_S^\Omega=(\mathfrak g_S[v],\delta_\Omega), where gS=Γ(+1TM)\mathfrak g_S=\Gamma(\wedge^{\bullet+1}TM), vv has degree 22, and δΩ=vdivΩ\delta_\Omega=v\operatorname{div}_\Omega, with divΩ\operatorname{div}_\Omega the divergence operator induced by the de Rham differential. Let gGcycl\mathfrak g_G^{\mathrm{cycl}} be the differential graded Lie algebra of cyclic Hochschild cochains, namely the cochains satisfying

Ma0φ(a1,,ap)Ω=(1)pMapφ(a0,,ap1)Ω.\int_M a_0\varphi(a_1,\dots,a_p)\Omega=(-1)^p\int_M a_p\varphi(a_0,\dots,a_{p-1})\Omega.

Kontsevich's cyclic formality conjecture. For each volume form ΩΩd(M)\Omega\in\Omega^d(M) there exists an LL_\infty-quasi-isomorphism of LL_\infty-algebras

F ⁣:gSΩgGcycl.F\colon \mathfrak g_S^\Omega\rightsquigarrow\mathfrak g_G^{\mathrm{cycl}}.

This is the cyclic analogue of Kontsevich's formality conjecture, relating polyvector fields with divergence differential to cyclic Hochschild cochains. The source gives no evidence of a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
