Abstract. Let g2 be the Hochschild complex of cochains on C ∞ (Rn ) and g1 be the space
of multivector fields on Rn . In this paper we prove that given any G∞ -structure (i.e. Gerstenhaber algebra up to homotopy structure) on g2 , and any C∞ -morphism ϕ (i.e. morphism
of commutative, associative algebra up to homotopy) between g1 and g2 , there exists a G∞ morphism Φ between g1 and g2 that restricts to ϕ. We also show that any L∞ -morphism (i.e.
morphism of Lie algebra up to homotopy), in particular the one constructed by Kontsevich,
can be deformed into a G∞ -morphism, using Tamarkin’s method for any G∞ -structure on
g2 . We also show that any two of such G∞ -morphisms are homotopic.
0-Introduction
Let M be a differential manifold and g2 = (C • (A, A), b) be the Hochschild cochain
complex on A = C ∞ (M ). The classical Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem states
that the cohomology of g2 is the graded Lie algebra g1 = Γ(M, ∧• T M ) of multivector
fields on M . There is also a graded Lie algebra structure on g2 given by the Gerstenhaber
bracket. In particular g1 and g2 are also Lie algebras up to homotopy (L∞ -algebra for
short). In the case M = Rn , using different methods, Kontsevich ([Ko1] and [Ko2])
and Tamarkin ([Ta]) have proved the existence of Lie homomorphisms “up to homotopy”
(L∞ -morphisms) from g1 to g2 . Kontsevich’s proof uses graph complex and is related
to multizeta functions whereas Tamarkin’s construction uses the existence of Drinfeld’s
associators. In fact Tamarkin’s L∞ -morphism comes from the restriction of a Gerstenhaber
algebra up to homotopy homomorphism (G∞ -morphism) from g1 to g2 . The G∞ -algebra
structure on g1 is induced by its classical Gerstenhaber algebra structure and a far less
trivial G∞ -structure on g2 was proved to exist by Tamarkin [Ta] and relies on a Drinfeld’s
associator. Tamarkin’s G∞ -morphism also restricts into a commutative, associative up
to homotopy morphism (C∞ -morphism for short). The C∞ -structure on g2 (given by

restriction of the G∞ -one) highly depends on Drinfeld’s associator, and any two choices
of a Drinfeld associator yields a priori different C∞ -structures. When M is a Poisson
manifold, Kontsevich and Tamarkin homomorphisms imply the existence of a star-product
(see [BFFLS1] and [BFFLS2] for a definition). A connection between the two approaches
has been given in [KS] but the morphisms given by Kontsevich and Tamarkin are not
the same. The aim of this paper is to show that, given any G∞ -structure on g2 and any
C∞ -morphism ϕ between g1 and g2 , there exists a G∞ -morphism Φ between g1 and g2
that restricts to ϕ. We also show that any L∞ -morphism can be deformed into a G∞ -one.
In the first section, we fix notation and recall the definitions of L∞ and G∞ -structures. In
the second section we state and prove the main theorem. In the last section we show that
any two G∞ -morphisms given by Tamarkin’s method are homotopic.
Remark : In the sequel, unless otherwise is stated, the manifold M is supposed to be Rn
for some n ≥ 1. Most results could be generalized to other manifolds using techniques of
Kontsevich [Ko1] (also see [TS], [CFT]).
1-C∞ , L∞ and G∞ -structures
For any graded vector space g, we choose the following degree on ∧• g : if X1 , . . . , Xk are
homogeneous elements of respective degree |X1 |, . . . |Xk |, then
|X1 ∧ · · · ∧ Xk | = |X1 | + · · · + |Xk | − k.
In particular the component g = ∧1 g ⊂ ∧• g is the same as the space g with degree shifted
by one. The space ∧• g with the deconcatenation cobracket is the cofree cocommutative
coalgebra on g with degree shifted by one (see [LS], Section 2). Any degree one map
dk : ∧k g → g (k ≥ 1) extends into a derivation dk : ∧• g → ∧• g of the coalgebra ∧• g by
cofreeness property.
Definition 1.1. A vector space g is endowed with a L∞ -algebra (Lie algebras “up to
homotopy”) structure if there are degree one linear maps m1,...,1 , with k ones : ∧k g → g
such that if we extend them to maps ∧• g → ∧• g, then d ◦ d = 0 where d is the derivation
d = m1 + m1,1 + · · · + m1,...,1 + · · · .
For more details on L∞ -structures, see [LS]. It follows from the definition that a L∞ -algebra
structure induces a differential coalgebra structure on ∧• g and that the map m1 : g → g
is a differential. If m1,...,1 : ∧k g → g are 0 for k ≥ 3, we get the usual definition of
(differential if m1 6= 0) graded Lie algebras.
For any graded vector space g, we denote g⊗n the quotient of g⊗n by the image of all
shuffles of length n (see [GK] or [GH] for details). The graded vector space ⊕n≥0 g⊗n is a
quotient coalgebra of the tensor coalgebra ⊕n≥0 g⊗n . It is well known that this coalgebra
⊕n≥0 g⊗n is the cofree Lie coalgebra on the vector space g (with degree shifted by minus
one).
Definition 1.2. A C∞ -algebra (commutative and asssociative “up to homotopy” algebra)
structure on a vector space g is given by a collection of degree one linear maps mk :
g⊗k → g such that if we extend them to maps ⊕g⊗• → ⊕g⊗• , then d ◦ d = 0 where d is the
derivation
d = m1 + m2 + m3 + · · · .
In particular a C∞ -algebra is an A∞ -algebra.

For any space g, we denote ∧• g⊗• the graded space
∧• g⊗• =
⊕
m≥1, p1 +···+pn =m
g⊗p1 ∧ · · · ∧ g⊗pn .
We use the following grading on ∧• g⊗• : for x11 , · · · , xpnn ∈ g, we define
|x11
⊗···⊗

|xi11 |

in
Notice that the induced grading on ∧• g ⊂ ∧• g⊗• is the same than the one introduced
above. The cobracket on ⊕g⊗• and the coproduct on ∧• g extend to a cobracket and a
coproduct on ∧•g⊗• which yield a Gerstenhaber coalgebra structure on ∧• g⊗• . It is well
known that this coalgebra structure is cofree (see [Gi], Section 3 for example).
Definition 1.3. A G∞ -algebra (Gerstenhaber algebra “up to homotopy”) structure on a
graded vector space g is given by a collection of degree one maps
mp1 ,...,pn : g⊗p1 ∧ · · · ∧ g⊗pn → g
indexed by p1 , . . . pn ≥ 1 such that their canonical extension: ∧• g⊗• → ∧• g⊗• satisfies
d ◦ d = 0 where
X
d=
mp1 ,...,pn .
m≥1, p1 +···pn =m
Again, as the coalgebra structure of ∧• g⊗• is cofree, the map d makes ∧• g⊗• into a
differential coalgebra. If the maps mp1 ,...,pn are 0 for (p1 , p2 , . . . ) 6= (1, 0, . . . ), (1, 1, 0, . . . )
or (2, 0, . . . ), we get the usual definition of (differential if m1 6= 0) Gerstenhaber algebra.
The space of multivector fields g1 is endowed with a graded Lie bracket [−, −]S called
the Schouten bracket (see [Kos]). This Lie algebra can be extended into a Gerstenhaber
algebra, with commutative structure given by the exterior product: (α, β) 7→ α ∧ β

Setting d1 = m1,1
1 + m1 , where m1 : ∧ g1 → g1 , and m1 : g1 → g1 are the extension
of the Schouten bracket and the exterior product, we find that (g1 , d1 ) is a G∞ -algebra.
In the sameL
way, one can define a differential Lie algebra structure on the vector space g2 =
C(A, A) = k≥0 C k (A, A), the space of Hochschild cochains (generated by differential klinear maps from Ak to A), where A = C ∞ (M ) is the algebra of smooth differential
functions over M . Its bracket [−, −]G , called the Gerstenhaber bracket, is defined, for
D, E ∈ g2 , by
|E||D|
[D, E]G = {D|E} − (−1)
{E|D},
where
{D|E}(x1 , . . ., xd+e−1 ) =
X
(−1)
|E|·i
D(x1 , . . ., xi , E(xi+1 , . . ., xi+e ), . . .).

The space g2 has a grading defined by | D |= k ⇔ D ∈ C k+1 (A, A) and its differential is
b = [m, −]G , where m ∈ C 2 (A, A) is the commutative multiplication on A.

GREGORY GINOT, GILLES HALBOUT
Tamarkin (see [Ta] or also [GH]) stated the existence of a G∞ -structure on g2 (depending
2
on a choice of a Drinfeld associator) given by a differential d2 = m12 + m1,1
2 + m2 + · · · +
p1 ,...,pn
⊗•
m2
+ · · · , on ∧•g2 satisfying d2 ◦ d2 = 0. Although this structure is non-explicit, it
satisfies the following three properties :
(a) m12 is the extension of the differential b
(b) m1,1
2 is the extension of the Gerstenhaber bracket [−, −]G
=0
and m1,1,...,1
2
(c) m22 induces the exterior product in cohomology and the
collection of the (mk )k≥1 defines a C∞ -structure on g2 .(1.1)
Definition 1.4. A L∞ -morphism between two L∞ -algebras (g1 , d1 = m11 + . . . ) and
(g2 , d2 = m12 + . . . ) is a morphism of differential coalgebras
ϕ : (∧• g1 , d1 ) → (∧• g2 , d2 ).
(1.2)
Such a map ϕ is uniquely determined by a collection of maps ϕn : ∧n g1 → g2 (again
by cofreeness properties). In the case g1 and g2 are respectively the graded Lie algebra
(Γ(M, ∧T M ), [−, −]S ) and the differential graded Lie algebra (C (A, A) , [−, −]G ), the
formality theorems of Kontsevich and Tamarkin state the existence of a L∞ -morphism
between g1 and g2 such that ϕ1 is the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg quasi-isomorphism.
Definition 1.5. A morphism of C∞-algebras between two C∞-algebras (g1 , d1 ) and (g2 , d2 )
⊗•
is a map φ : (⊕g⊗•
1 , d1 ) → (⊕g2 , d2 ) of codifferential coalgebras.
A C∞ -morphism is in particular a morphism of A∞ -algebras and is uniquely determined
by maps ∂ k : g⊗k → g.
Definition 1.6. A morphism of G∞-algebras between two G∞-algebras (g1 , d1 ) and (g2 , d2 )
• ⊗•
is a map φ : (∧•g⊗•
1 , d1 ) → (∧ g2 , d2 ) of codifferential coalgebras.
There are coalgebras inclusions ∧• g → ∧• g⊗• , ⊕g⊗• → ∧• g⊗• and it is easy to check

the G∞ structure he built) that restricts to a C∞ and a L∞ -morphism.
2-Main theorem
We keep the notations of the previous section, in particular g2 is the Hochschild complex
of cochains on C ∞ (M ) and g1 its cohomology. Here is our main theorem.
LIFT OF C∞ AND L∞ MORPHISMS TO G∞ MORPHISMS

Theorem 2.1. Given any G∞ -structure d2 on g2 satisfying the three properties of (1.1),
and any C∞ -morphism ϕ between g1 and g2 such that ϕ1 is the Hochschild-KostantRosenberg map, there exists a G∞ -morphism Φ : (g1 , d1 ) → (g2 , d2 ) that restricts to ϕ.
Also, given any L∞ -morphism γ between g1 and g2 such that γ 1 is the HochschildKostant-Rosenberg map, there exists a G∞ -structure (g1 , d′1 ) on g1 and G∞ -morphism
Γ : (g1 , d′1 ) → (g2 , d2 ) that restricts to γ. Moreover there exists a G∞ -morphism Γ′ :
(g1 , d1 ) → (g1 , d1 ).
In particular, Theorem 2.1 applies to the formality map of Kontsevich and also to any
C∞ -map derived (see [Ta], [GH]) from any B∞ -structure on g2 lifting the Gerstenhaber
structure of g1 .
Let us first recall the proof of Tamarkin’s formality theorem (see [GH] for more details):
1. First one proves there exists a G∞ -structure on g2 , with differential d2 , as in (1.1).
2. Then, one constructs a G∞ -structure on g1 given by a differential d′1 together with
a G∞ -morphism Φ between (g1 , d′1 ) and (g2 , d2 ).
3. Finally, one constructs a G∞ -morphism Φ′ between (g1 , d1 ) and (g1 , d′1 ).
The composition Φ ◦ Φ′ is then a G∞ -morphism between (g1 , d1 ) and (g2 , d2 ),thus restricts
to a L∞ -morphism between the differential graded Lie algebras g1 and g2 .
We suppose now that, in the first step, we take any G∞ -structure on g2 given by a differential d2 and we suppose we are given a C∞ -morphism ϕ and a L∞ -morphism γ between g1
and g2 satisfying γ 1 = ϕ1 = ϕHKR the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg quasi-isomorphism.
Proof of Theorem 2.1:
The Theorem will follow if we prove that steps 2 and 3 of Tamarkin’s construction are
still true with the extra conditions that the restriction of the G∞ -morphism Φ (resp. Φ′ )
on the C∞ -structures is the C∞ -morphism ϕ : g1 → g2 (resp. id).
Let us recall (see [GH]) that the constructions of Φ and d′1 can be made by induction.
For i = 1, 2 and n ≥ 0, let us set

We want to construct the maps d′ 1 and Φ[n] by induction with the initial condition
[1]
d′ 1 = 0
Φ[1] = ϕHKR ,
and
where ϕHKR : (g1 , 0) → (g2 , b) is the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg quasi-isomorphism
(see [HKR]) defined, for α ∈ g1 , f1 , · · · , fn ∈ A, by
ϕHKR : α 7→ (f1 , . . . , fn ) 7→ hα, df1 ∧ · · · ∧ dfn i .

[n]
In [GH], we prove that for any such (d′ 1 )i≤n−1 and (Φ[i] )i≤n−1 , one can construct d′ 1
and Φ[n] such that condition (2.4) is true for n instead of n − 1. To complete the proof
[n]
of Theorem 2.1 (step 2), we have to show that d′ 1 and Φ[n] can be chosen to satisfy
k
conditions (2.3). In the equation 2.4, the terms d′ 1 and Φk only act on V1k . So one can
2
i
replace Φn with ϕn , d′ 1 with d21 (or d′ 1 , i ≥ 3 with 0) provided conditions (2.4) are still
satisfied on V1n . The other terms acting on V1n in the equation (2.4) only involve terms
m
Φm = ϕm and d′ 1 . Then conditions (2.4) on V11,...,1 are the equations that should be

satisfied by a C∞ -morphism between the C∞ -algebras (g1 , d′ 1 = d1,1

restricted to V1n . Hence by hypothesis on ϕ the conditions hold.
Similarly the construction of Φ′ can be made by induction. Let us recall the proof given
• ⊗• ′
in [GH]. Again a morphism Φ′ : (∧•g⊗•
1 , d1 ) → (∧ g2 , d1 ) is uniquely determined by its

In [GH], we prove that for any such (Φ′ )i≤n−1 , one can construct Φ′ such that condition

sisting of maps which restrict to zero on ⊕n≥2 g1 ⊗n . It is always a cocycle by straightforward computation (see [GH]) and the subcomplex is acyclic because both (End(∧•g⊗•
1 ),
[2]
[d1 , −]) and the Harrison cohomology of g1 are trivial according to Tamarkin [Ta] (see
also [GH] Proposition 5.1 and [Hi] 5.4).
In the case of the L∞ -morphism γ, the first step is similar: the fact that γ is a L∞ -map
enables us to build a G∞ -structure (g1 , d′1 ) on g1 and a G∞ -morphism Γ : (g1 , d′1 ) →
(g2 , d2 ) such that:

Pn+1 [k] [≤n−k+2]
the fact that k=3 d′1 Γ′
is a cocycle. The difference with the C∞ -case is that
′ 1,...,1
the Γ
could be non zero.
3-The difference between two G∞ -maps
In this section we investigate the difference between two differents G∞ -formality maps.
We fix once for all a G∞ -structure on g2 (given by a differential d2 ) satisfying the conditions (1.1) and a morphism of G∞ -algebras T : (g1 , d1 ) → (g2 , d2 ) such that T 1 : g1 → g2
is ϕHKR . Let K : (g1 , d1 ) → (g2 , d2 ) be any other G∞ -morphism with K 1 = ϕHKR
(for example any lift of a Kontsevich formality map or any G∞ -maps lifting another C∞ morphism).

onto the cohomology, i.e. p ◦ ϕHKR = id. Let u : g1 → g2 be any map satisfying b(u) = 0
and set v = p ◦ u ∈ End(g1 ). One can choose a map w : g1 → g2 which satisfies for any
x ∈ g1 the following identity
ϕHKR ◦ p ◦ u(x) − u(x) = b ◦ w(x).
It follows that ϕHKR (v) has the same class of homology as u which proves the surjectivity
of T∗0 in cohomology. The identity p ◦ ϕHKR = id implies easily that T∗0 is also injective
in cohomology which finish the proof of the lemma for T∗ .
The proof that T ∗ is also a quasi-isomorphism is analogous.

Lemma 3.2, this is also the case for the cochain complex Hom(∧ g1 , ∧ g2 ), δ . Thus,
its cohomology classes are determined by complex morphisms (g1 , 0) → (g2 , d12 ) and it is
enough to prove that T and K determine the same complex morphism (g1 , 0) → (g2 , d12 = b)
which is clear because T 1 and K 1 are both equal to the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg
map.
Remark. It is possible to have an explicit formula for the map h in Theorem .3.1. In
fact the quasi-isomorphism coming from Lemma 3.2 can be made explicit using explicit
homotopy formulae for the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg map (see [Ha] for example) and
deformation retract techniques (instead of spectral sequences) as in [Ka]. The same techniques
explicit formulae for the quasi-isomorphism giving the acyclicity
also apply to give
