The aim of the paper is to establish a non-recursive formula for the general solution of Fedosov's 'quadratic' fixed-point equation (Fedosov 1994 J. Diff. Geom. 40 213-38). Fedosov's geometrical fixed-point equation for a differential is rewritten in a form similar to the functional equation for the generating function of Catalan numbers. This allows us to guess the solution. An adapted example for Kaehler manifolds of constant sectional curvature is considered in detail. Also for every connection on a manifold a familiar classical differential will be introduced.
We consider a natural variant of the Moyal-Weyl product and show that it yields a functorial deformation of differential graded algebras and that we can deform coalgebras in a similar way. The Moyal-Weyl deformation of graded algebras has already been introduced by Fedosov [6] and also appears in [7] as part of an A ∞ structure, but we are not aware that the analogous result for differential graded coalgebras already appeared in the literature and discuss the Moyal-Weyl of the category of complexes as an example.
