Abstract

We consider the space of differential operators Dλμ\mathcal{D}_{\lambda\mu} acting between λ\lambda- and μ\mu-densities defined on S12S^{1|2} endowed with its standard contact structure. This contact structure allows one to define a filtration on Dλμ\mathcal{D}_{\lambda\mu} which is finer than the classical one, obtained by writting a differential operator in terms of the partial derivatives with respect to the different coordinates. The space Dλμ\mathcal{D}_{\lambda\mu} and the associated graded space of symbols Sδ\mathcal{S}_{\delta} (δ=μλ\delta=\mu-\lambda) can be considered as spo(22)\mathfrak{spo}(2|2)-modules, where spo(22)\mathfrak{spo}(2|2) is the Lie superalgebra of contact projective vector fields on S12S^{1|2}. We show in this paper that there is a unique isomorphism of spo(22)\mathfrak{spo}(2|2)-modules between Sδ\mathcal{S}_{\delta} and Dλμ\mathcal{D}_{\lambda\mu} that preserves the principal symbol (i.e. an spo(22)\mathfrak{spo}(2|2)-equivariant quantization) for some values of δ\delta called non-critical values. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for this isomorphism, extending in this way the results of [Mellouli N., SIGMA 5 (2009), 111, 11 pages, arXiv:0912.5190] which were established for second-order differential operators. The method used here to build the spo(22)\mathfrak{spo}(2|2)-equivariant quantization is the same as the one used in [Mathonet P., Radoux F., Lett. Math. Phys. 98 (2011), 311-331, arXiv:1003.3320] to prove the existence of a pgl(p+1q)\mathfrak{pgl}(p+1|q)-equivariant quantization on Rpq\mathbb{R}^{p|q}.
