Abstract:

We study deformation quantizations of the structure sheaf O_X of a smooth
algebraic variety X in characteristic 0. Our main result is that when X is
D-affine, any formal Poisson structure on X determines a deformation
quantization of O_X (canonically, up to gauge equivalence). This is an
algebro-geometric analogue of Kontsevich's celebrated result.
