A universal sheaf of algebras governing representations of vector fields on quasi-projective varieties

Abstract

We construct a quasi-coherent sheaf of associative algebras which controls a category of $AV$-modules over a smooth quasi-projective variety. We establish a local structure theorem, proving that in \'etale charts these associative algebras decompose into a tensor product of the algebra of differential operators and the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of power series vector fields vanishing at the origin.
