Rozansky–Witten conjecture on monoidal deformations of coherent-sheaf categories

Let YY be the complex manifold under consideration. Write TfYT^*_fY for its formal holomorphic cotangent neighborhood, and let β\beta be an inhomogeneous (0,q)(0,q)-form with odd qq and values in the graded bundle

p=2Symp(TY).\bigoplus_{p=2}^{\infty} \operatorname{Sym}^p(TY).

Assume that β\beta satisfies the Maurer–Cartan equation

β+12[β,β]=0,\overline{\partial}\beta+\frac{1}{2}[\beta,\beta]=0,

where the bracket combines wedge product with the Poisson-induced Lie bracket on fiberwise-holomorphic functions on TfYT^*_fY. Let MY{\mathsf M}_Y denote the space of such solutions, and let gauge transformations have infinitesimal action

a: ββ+a+[β,a],a:\ \beta\mapsto\beta+\overline{\partial}a+[\beta,a],

with aa a section of p=1Symp(TY)\bigoplus_{p=1}^{\infty}\operatorname{Sym}^p(TY). Rozansky–Witten conjecture. There is a surjective map from MY{\mathsf M}_Y to the space of monoidal deformations of the category DZ2(Coh(Y))D_{{\mathbb Z}_2}(\operatorname{Coh}(Y)). Two monoidal deformations are equivalent if and only if the corresponding Maurer–Cartan solutions are related by a gauge transformation with the infinitesimal action above. The Rozansky–Witten model is expected to identify formal holomorphic symplectic deformations of the neighborhood of YY with monoidal deformations of its coherent-sheaf category. The conjecture gives the asserted parametrization and equivalence relation; the supplied text does not provide a resolution status.
