Deformation quantization is a formal deformation of the algebra of smooth functions on some manifold. In the classical setting, the Poisson bracket serves as an initial conditions, while the associativity allows to proceed to higher orders.…
One defines the notion of universal deformation quantization: given any manifold $M$, any Poisson structure $\P$ on $M$ and any torsionfree linear connection $\nabla$ on $M$, a universal deformation quantization associates to this data a…
We study deformation quantization on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $W$ endowed with its canonical Poisson structure. The standard example of the Moyal star-product is made explicit and it is shown that it is well defined on a…
We present a star product between differential forms to second order in the deformation parameter $\hbar$. The star product obtained is consistent with a graded differential Poisson algebra structure on a symplectic manifold. The form of…
In his celebrated paper Kontsevich has proved a theorem which manifestly gives a quantum product (deformation quantization formula) and states that changing coordinates leads to gauge equivalent star products. To illuminate his procedure,…
This dissertation is an exposition of Kontsevich's proof of the formality theorem and the classification of deformation quantisation on a Poisson manifold. We begin with an account of the physical background and introduce the Weyl-Moyal…
Deformation theory refers to an apparatus in many parts of math and physics for going from an infinitesimal (= first order) deformation to a full deformation, either formal or convergent appropriately. If the algebra being deformed is that…
An analogue of the Moyal star product is presented for the deformed oscillator algebra. It contains several homotopy-like additional integration parameters in the multiplication kernel generalizing the differential Moyal star-product…
In this paper the deformation quantization is constructed in the case of scalar fields on Minkowski space-time. We construct the star products at three level concerning fields, Hamiltonian functionals and their underlying structure called…
Deformation quantization conventionally is described in terms of multidifferential operators. Jet manifold technique is well-known provide the adequate formulation of theory of differential operators. We extended this formulation to the…
We present a deformed star-product for a particle in the presence of a magnetic monopole. The product is obtained within a self-dual quantization-dequantization scheme, with the correspondence between classical observables and operators…
We show how combinatorial star products can be used to obtain strict deformation quantizations of polynomial Poisson structures on $\mathbb R^d$, generalizing known results for constant and linear Poisson structures to polynomial Poisson…
We propose a new formula for the star product in deformation quantization of Poisson structures related in a specific way to a variational problem for a function $S$, interpreted as the action functional. Our approach is motivated by…
After a brief description of the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded differential Poisson algebra, we introduce a covariant star product for exterior differential forms and give an explicit expression for it up to second order in the deformation parameter…
In this review an overview on some recent developments in deformation quantization is given. After a general historical overview we motivate the basic definitions of star products and their equivalences both from a mathematical and a…
In the present paper we explicitly construct deformation quantizations of certain Poisson structures on E^*, where E -> M is a Lie algebroid. Although the considered Poisson structures in general are far from being regular or even…
Starting with the well-defined product of quantum fields at two spacetime points, we explore an associated Poisson structure for classical field theories within the deformation quantization formalism. We realize that the induced…
We make a deformation quantization by Moyal star-product on a space of functions endowed with the normalized Wick product and where Stratonovich chaos are well defined.
We study formal and non-formal deformation quantizations of a family of manifolds that can be obtained by phase space reduction from $\mathbb{C}^{1+n}$ with the Wick star product in arbitrary signature. Two special cases of such manifolds…
A covariant Poisson bracket and an associated covariant star product in the sense of deformation quantization are defined on the algebra of tensor-valued differential forms on a symplectic manifold, as a generalization of similar structures…
