We study gerbes of chiral differential operators acting on the exterior algebra $\\Lambda E$ of a vector bundle over a smooth algebraic variety $X$. When $E=\\Omega^1_X$ this gerbe admits a canonical global section which coincides with the chiral de Rham complex of $X$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-05-23T09:02:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "smooth algebraic variety", "vector bundle", "study gerbes", "chiral differential operators acting", "exterior algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......5201G" } } }
