Description
I will introduce classical and quantum "thick morphisms" of supermanifolds. These are differential-geometric constructions that provide L-infinity morphisms for homotopy analogs of Poisson brackets; in particular, for homotopy brackets generated by higher-order Batalin-Vilkovisky type operators. They generalize ordinary smooth maps of supermanifolds with pullbacks on functions that are non-linear maps.
