Universal Deformation Formula, Formality and Actions

Abstract

In this paper we provide a quantization via formality of Poisson actions of a triangular Lie algebra $(\mathfrak g,r)$ on a smooth manifold $M$. Using the formality of polydifferential operators on Lie algebroids we obtain a deformation quantization of $M$ together with a quantum group $\mathscr{U}_\hbar(\mathfrak{g})$ and a map of associated DGLA's. This motivates a definition of quantum action in terms of $L_\infty$-morphisms which generalizes the one given by Drinfeld.
