The Duflo formula for Q-manifolds

Let XX be a smooth QQ-manifold, with QQ an odd vector field of degree +1+1 satisfying [Q,Q]=0[Q,Q]=0. Let Tpoly(X,Q)T^\bullet_{\mathrm{poly}}(X,Q) be its differential graded algebra of polyvector fields, let φHKR\varphi_{\mathrm{HKR}} be the Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg map, and let

φstrange=exp(k1α2kc2k)\varphi_{\mathrm{strange}}=\exp\left(\sum_{k\geq 1}\alpha_{2k}c_{2k}\right)

be the characteristic correction defined from the Atiyah class, with the coefficients α2k\alpha_{2k} as in the source. Let UQ\mathcal U_Q be the tangent map at QQ of a formality quasi-isomorphism.

Duflo formula for Q-manifolds.

  1. The map
[φHKRφstrange]:H(Tpoly(X,Q))HH(C(X),Q)[\varphi_{\mathrm{HKR}}\circ\varphi_{\mathrm{strange}}]:H^\bullet(T^\bullet_{\mathrm{poly}}(X,Q))\to HH^\bullet(C^\infty(X),Q)

is an isomorphism of algebras. 2. The map [UQ][\mathcal U_Q] induced by the tangent map UQ\mathcal U_Q coincides with [φHKRφstrange][\varphi_{\mathrm{HKR}}\circ\varphi_{\mathrm{strange}}]. This conjecture extends the classical Duflo formula and the corresponding formula for complex manifolds to arbitrary smooth QQ-manifolds. The source uses it to give an explicit description of the canonical tangent-map isomorphism.
