Abstract

In the present work, we extend our previous work with Gwilliam by realizing A(X) as the projective volume form associated to the BV operator in our quanitization of a one-dimensional sigma model. We also discuss the associated integration/expectation map. We work in the formalism of L_∞ spaces, objects of which are computationally convenient presentations for derived stacks. Both smooth and complex geometry embed into L_∞ spaces and we specialize our results in both of these cases.
