Kontsevich's Formality Conjecture for the Hochschild complex

Let A=C(X)A=C^\infty(X) be the algebra of smooth functions on a smooth real manifold XX, and let C=C(A,A)[1]C^\bullet=C^\bullet(A,A)[1] be the suspended local Hochschild complex, whose cohomology DGLA is H=ΛTX[1]H^\bullet=\Lambda^\bullet TX[1] with trivial differential and the Schouten\Nijenhuis bracket. Kontsevich's Formality Conjecture. The Hochschild complex CC^\bullet is quasi-isomorphic as a DGLA to its cohomology HH^\bullet. This would refine the Hochschild\Kostant\Rosenberg theorem by asserting formality of the Hochschild DGLA, a foundational statement in the deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds.
