Abstract

Let MM be a smooth manifold equipped with a conformal structure, E[w]E[w] the space of densities with the the conformal weight ww and Dw,w+\deD_{w,w+\de} the space of differential operators from E[w]E[w] to E[w+δ]E[w+\delta]. Conformal quantization QQ is a right inverse of the principle symbol map on Dw,w+δD_{w,w+\delta} such that QQ is conformally invariant and exists for all ww. This is known to exists for generic values of δ\delta. We give explicit formulae for QQ for all δ\delta out of the set of critical weights. We provide a simple description of this set and conjecture its minimality.
