Abstract

The sheaf of rings of WKB operators provides a deformation-quantization of the cotangent bundle to a complex manifold. On a complex symplectic manifold XX there may not exist a sheaf of rings locally isomorphic to a ring of WKB operators. The idea is then to consider the whole family of locally defined sheaves of WKB operators as the deformation-quantization of XX. To state it precisely, one needs the notion of algebroid stack, introduced by Kontsevich. In particular, the stack of WKB modules over XX defined in Polesello-Schapira (see also Kashiwara for the contact case) is better understood as the stack of modules over the algebroid stack of deformation-quantization of XX. Let VV be an involutive submanifold of XX, and assume for simplicity that the quotient of VV by its bicharacteristic leaves is isomorphic to a complex symplectic manifold ZZ. The algebra of endomorphisms of a simple WKB module along VV is locally (anti-)isomorphic to the pull-back of WKB operators on ZZ. Hence we may say that a simple module provides a deformation-quantization of VV. Again, since in general there do not exist globally defined simple WKB modules, the idea is to consider the algebroid stack of locally defined simple WKB modules as the deformation-quantization of VV. In this paper we start by defining what an algebroid stack is, and how it is locally described. We then discuss the algebroid stack of WKB operators on a complex symplectic manifold XX, and define the deformation-quantization of an involutive submanifold VV by means of simple WKB modules along VV. Finally, we relate this deformation-quantization to that given by WKB operators on the quotient of VV by its bicharacteristic leaves.
