Quantization via Star Products

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

We study quantization via star products. We investigate a quantization scheme in which a quantum theory is described entirely in terms of the function space without reference to a Hilbert space, unlike the formulation employing the Wigner functions. The associative law plays an essential role in excluding the unwanted solutions to the stargen-value equation. This is demonstrated explicitly with the DD-dimensional harmonic oscillator.
