Abstract

In this article, X will denote a C∞ manifold. In a very famous article, Kontsevich showed that the differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of polydifferential operators on X is formal. Calaque extended this theorem to any Lie algebroid. More precisely, given any Lie algebroid E over X, he defined the DGLA of E-polydifferential operators, Γ(X, ED*poly), and showed that it is formal. Denote by Γ(X, ET*poly) the DGLA of E-polyvector fields. Considering M, a module over E, we define Γ(X, ETpoly*(M)) the Γ(X, ET*poly)-module of E-polyvector fields with values in M. Similarly, we define the Γ(X, ED*poly)-module of E-polydifferential operators with values in M, Γ(X, ED*poly(M)). We show that there is a quasi-isomorphism of L∞-modules over Γ(X, ET*poly) from Γ(X, ET*poly(M)) to Γ(X, ED*poly(M)). Our result extends Calaque 's (and Kontsevich's) result.
