We review and extend the Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz-Zaboronsky construction of solutions of the Batalin-Vilkovisky classical master equation. In particular, we study the case of sigma models on manifolds with boundary. We show that a special case of this construction yields the Batalin-Vilkovisky action functional of the Poisson sigma model on a disk. As we have shown in a previous paper, the perturbative quantization of this model is related to Kontsevich's deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds and to his formality theorem. We also discuss the action of diffeomorphisms of the target manifolds.

  1. Gauged Courant sigma models

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauged Courant sigma models extend Courant sigma models by adding gauge symmetries from Lie algebroids and Courant algebroids, with consistency ensured by flatness conditions on target-space curvatures and torsions.

  2. Fluid dynamics as intersection problem

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fluid dynamics is formulated as an intersection problem on a symplectic manifold associated with spacetime, yielding a geometric derivation of covariant hydrodynamics and extensions to multicomponent and anomalous fluids.

  3. Hamilton Lie algebroids over Dirac structures and sigma models

    math.DG 2023-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Introduces Hamiltonian Lie algebroids over Dirac structures as a generalization and applies them to construct gauged Poisson and Dirac sigma models.

  4. M. Kontsevich's graph complexes and universal structures on graded symplectic manifolds

    math.QA 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For every d at least 2, the full Kontsevich graph complex maps injectively into the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex of the n=d-1 Schouten algebra, so its zeroth cohomology acts via L-infinity automorphisms on graded sympl...
