Abstract

In this paper we provide an explicit construction of star products on U(g)-module algebras by using the Fedosov approach. This construction allows us to give a constructive proof to Drinfel'd theorem and to obtain a concrete formula for Drinfel'd twist. We prove that the equivalence classes of twists are in one-to-one correspondence with the second Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of the Lie algebra g. Finally, we show that for Lie algebras with K\"ahler structure we obtain a strongly positive universal deformation of *-algebras by using a Wick-type deformation. This results in a positive Drinfel'd twist.
