The higher BV quantization conjecture for shifted quadratic modules

Let XX be a derived stack and let nn be an integer. Write Quadk(X)\mathcal{Q}\operatorname{uad}_{k}(X) for the category of kk-shifted quadratic modules on XX, and AlgEn()\mathcal{A}\operatorname{lg}_{\mathrm{E}_{n}}(-) for the category of En\mathrm{E}_{n}-algebras. The Heisenberg Lie algebra is the Lie algebra obtained from a quadratic module by the induced central extension.

Higher BV quantization conjecture. There is a natural equivalence

AlgEn(Quad1(X))Quad1n(X).\mathcal{A}\operatorname{lg}_{\mathrm{E}_{n}}(\mathcal{Q}\operatorname{uad}_{1}(X))\simeq \mathcal{Q}\operatorname{uad}_{1-n}(X).

Under this equivalence, the induced functor

Quad1n(X)AlgEn(Quad1(X))AlgEn(Lie1(X))Lie1n(X)\mathcal{Q}\operatorname{uad}_{1-n}(X)\simeq \mathcal{A}\operatorname{lg}_{\mathrm{E}_{n}}(\mathcal{Q}\operatorname{uad}_{1}(X))\to \mathcal{A}\operatorname{lg}_{\mathrm{E}_{n}}(\mathcal{L}\operatorname{ie}_{1}(X))\simeq \mathcal{L}\operatorname{ie}_{1-n}(X)

is a (1n)(1-n)-shifted version of the Heisenberg Lie algebra, and the composite functor Quad1n(X)AlgEn(X)\mathcal{Q}\operatorname{uad}_{1-n}(X)\to \mathcal{A}\operatorname{lg}_{\mathrm{E}_{n}}(X) is the En\mathrm{E}_{n}-enveloping algebra of the shifted Heisenberg Lie algebra.

This conjecture describes the expected structure of En\mathrm{E}_{n}-algebras in the category of shifted quadratic modules, extending the analogous description for shifted Lie algebras. The supplied text gives the assertion as an expectation but does not establish it or provide evidence of resolution.
