Formality for algebroids.
Abstract:
The celebrated formality theorem of Kontsevich establishes a bijection
beween the collection of equivalence classes of
(non-commutative) deformations of the algebra of functions on a
manifold on the one hand, and the collection
of equivalence classes of deformations of the trivial Poisson bracket.
I will describe a generalization of this result to algebroids which
are twisted forms of the sheaf of functions on the manifold (a.k.a.
gerbes).
