Infinitesimal 2-braidings from 2-shifted Poisson structures

Abstract

It is shown that every $2$-shifted Poisson structure on a finitely generated semi-free commutative differential graded algebra $A$ defines a very explicit infinitesimal $2$-braiding on the homotopy $2$-category of the symmetric monoidal dg-category of finitely generated semi-free $A$-dg-modules. This provides a concrete realization, to first order in the deformation parameter $\hslash$, of the abstract deformation quantization results in derived algebraic geometry due to Calaque, Pantev, Toën, Vaquié and Vezzosi. Of particular interest is the case when $A$ is the Chevalley-Eilenberg algebra of a Lie $N$-algebra, where the braided monoidal deformations developed in this paper may be interpreted as candidates for representation categories of `higher quantum groups'.
