We develop a general framework for the study of strong Morita equivalence in which $C^*$-algebras and hermitian star products on Poisson manifolds are treated in equal footing. We compare strong and ring-theoretic Morita equivalences in…

In this paper we investigate equivariant Morita theory for algebras with momentum maps and compute the equivariant Picard groupoid in terms of the Picard groupoid explicitly. We consider three types of Morita theory: ring-theoretic…

In this letter we give an overview on recent developments in representation theory of star product algebras. In particular, we relate the *-representation theory of *-algebras over rings C = R(i) with an ordered ring R and i^2 = -1 to the…

In this note we recall some recent progress in understanding the representation theory of *-algebras over rings C = R(i) where R is ordered and i^2 = -1. The representation spaces are modules over auxiliary *-algebras with inner products…

We extend the notion of Morita equivalence of Poisson manifolds to the setting of {\em formal} Poisson structures, i.e., formal power series of bivector fields $\pi=\pi_0 + \lambda\pi_1 +\cdots$ satisfying the Poisson integrability…

This paper deals with two aspects of the theory of characteristic classes of star products: first, on an arbitrary Poisson manifold, we describe Morita equivalent star products in terms of their Kontsevich classes; second, on symplectic…

Motivated by deformation quantization, we introduced in an earlier work the notion of formal Morita equivalence in the category of $^*$-algebras over a ring $\ring C$ which is the quadratic extension by $\im$ of an ordered ring $\ring R$.…

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 this paper we give a complete characterization of Morita equivalent star products on symplectic manifolds in terms of their characteristic classes: two star products $\star$ and $\star'$ on $(M,\omega)$ are Morita equivalent if and only…

In these lecture notes I give an introduction to deformation quantization. The quantization problem is discussed in some detail thereby motivating the notion of star products. Starting from a deformed observable algebra, i.e. the star…

It is well known that a measured groupoid G defines a von Neumann algebra W*(G), and that a Lie groupoid G canonically defines both a C*-algebra C*(G) and a Poisson manifold A*(G). We show that the maps G -> W*(G), G -> C*(G) and G -> A*(G)…

In this article we review recent developments on Morita equivalence of star products and their Picard groups. We point out the relations between noncommutative field theories and deformed vector bundles which give the Morita equivalence…

The notion of H-covariant strong Morita equivalence is introduced for *-algebras over C = R(i) with an ordered ring R which are equipped with a *-action of a Hopf *-algebra H. This defines a corresponding H-covariant strong Picard groupoid…

These notes discuss various aspect of the ``representation theory'' of Poisson manifolds, with focus on Morita equivalence and Picard groups. We give a brief introduction to Poisson geometry (including Dirac and twisted Poisson structures)…

We apply the star product quantization to the Lie algebra. The quantization in terms of the star product is well known and the commutation relation in this case is called the $\theta$-deformation where the constant $\theta$ appears as a…

This paper is devoted to the study of Morita equivalence for twisted Poisson manifolds. We review some Morita invariants and prove that integrable twisted Poisson manifolds which are gauge equivalent are Morita equivalent. Moreover, we…

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…

Derived equivalences and t-structures are closely related. We use realisation functors associated to t-structures in triangulated categories to establish a derived Morita theory for abelian categories with a projective generator or an…

It is well known that rings are the objects of a bicategory, whose arrows are bimodules, composed through the bimodule tensor product. We give an analogous bicategorical description of C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras, Lie groupoids,…
