Tamarkin’s proof of Kontsevich formality theorem. (English) Zbl 1081.16014
The paper is devoted to an extended version of lectures given at a Luminy colloquium on “Quantification par déformation”. The main goal is to explain in details the proof by Tamarkin of an algebraic version of Kontsevich’s formality theorem: Let $$A$$ be a polynomial algebra over a field $$k$$ of characteristic zero and let $${\mathcal C}=C^*(A;A)$$ be the cohomological complex of $$A$$ with coefficients at $$A$$. The dg Lie algebra $${\mathcal C}[1]$$ is formal, that is, $${\mathcal C}[1]$$ is isomorphic in the homotopy category of dg Lie algebras to its cohomology. The needed background (about operads, cooperads, formality, etc., until Etingof-Kazhdan theory) for understanding the proof is given in details.
