Abstract

We present a method of quantizing analytic spaces XX immersed in an arbitrary smooth ambient manifold MM. Remarkably our approach can be applied to singular spaces. We begin by quantizing the cotangent bundle of the manifold MM. Using a super-manifold framework we modify the Fedosov construction in a way such that the \star-product of the functions lifted from the base manifold turns out to be the usual commutative product of smooth functions on MM. This condition allows us to lift the ideals associated to the analytic spaces on the base manifold to form left (or right) ideals on (\mcOΩ1M[[]],\starl)(\mc{O}_{\Omega^1 M}[[\hbar]],\starl) in a way independent of the choice of generators and leading to a finite set of PDEs defining the functions in the quantum algebra associated to XX. Some examples are included.
