Unobstructedness conjecture for quantized symplectic quotient algebras

About 21 years old · traced to

Let MM be a symplectic C∞C^\infty-manifold or an affine complex algebraic variety, let GG be a finite group acting on MM by symplectic transformations, and let BB be a GG-equivariant quantization of MM. Set

A0=G▹ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣<B[ℏ−1].A_0=G\mathbin{\triangleright\!\!\!<}B[\hbar^{-1}].

The Hochschild cohomology satisfies

H2(A0)=(H2(M)⊕C[S])G,H^2(A_0)=\left(H^2(M)\oplus\mathbb C[S]\right)^G,

where SS is the set of pairs (g,Y)(g,Y) such that g∈Gg\in G and YY is a connected component of MgM^g of codimension 22. Unobstructedness conjecture. The deformations of the algebra A0A_0 are unobstructed. Thus there exists a universal deformation HcH_c of this algebra parametrized by c∈H2(A0)c\in H^2(A_0). This conjecture predicts that the deformation theory of these quantized symplectic quotient algebras has no obstruction classes, despite the possible nonvanishing of H3(A0)H^3(A_0).
