Abstract

Let SS be a spinor bundle of a pseudo-Euclidean vector bundle (E,g)(E,\mathrm{g}) of even rank. We introduce a new filtration on the algebra D(M,S)\mathcal{D}(M,S) of differential operators on SS. As main property, the associated graded algebra grD(M,S)\mathrm{gr}\mathcal{D}(M,S) is isomorphic to the algebra O(M)\mathcal{O}(\mathcal{M}) of functions on M\mathcal{M}, where M\mathcal{M} is the symplectic graded manifold of degree 22 canonically associated to (E,g)(E,\mathrm{g}). Accordingly, we define the Weyl quantization on M\mathcal{M} as a map WQ:O(M)D(M,S)\mathcal{WQ}_\hbar:\mathcal{O}(\mathcal{M})\to\mathcal{D}(M,S), and prove that WQ\mathcal{WQ}_\hbar satisfies all desired usual properties. As an application, we obtain a bijection between Courant algebroid structures (E,g,ρ,[,])(E,\mathrm{g},\rho,[\cdot,\cdot]), that are encoded by Hamiltonian generating functions on M\mathcal{M}, and skew-symmetric Dirac generating operators DD(M,S)D\in\mathcal{D}(M,S). The operator D2D^2 gives a new invariant of (E,g,ρ,[,])(E,\mathrm{g},\rho,[\cdot,\cdot]), which generalizes the square norm of the Cartan 33-form of a quadratic Lie algebra. We study in detail the particular case of EE being the double of a Lie bialgebroid (A,A)(A,A^*).
