Hochschild cohomology and Atiyah classes
Résumé
In this paper we provide a proof of a result announced by Kontsevich that the HKR-morphism, twisted by the square root of the Todd genus, gives an isomorphism between the Hochschild cohomology of a smooth algebraic variety and the cohomology of poly-vector fields, both considered as Gerstenhaber algebras. Our proof is set in the framework of Lie algebroids and so applies in more general settings as well.
