We present a method of quantizing analytic spaces $X$ immersed in an arbitrary smooth ambient manifold $M$. Remarkably our approach can be applied to singular spaces. We begin by quantizing the cotangent bundle of the manifold $M$. Using a…
Contrary to the classical methods of quantum mechanics, the deformation quantization can be carried out on phase spaces which are not even topological manifolds. In particular, the Moyal star product gives rise to a canonical functor $F$…
Covariant integral quantisation using coherent states for semidirect product groups is studied and applied to the motion of a particle on the circle. In the present case the group is the Euclidean group E$(2)$. We implement the quantisation…
We study the scalar quantum field theory on a generic noncommutative two-sphere as a special case of noncommutative curved space, which is described by the deformation quantization algebra obtained from symplectic reduction and parametrized…
We investigate noncommutative deformations of quantum field theories for different star products, particularly emphasizing the locality properties and the regularity of the deformed fields. Using functional analysis methods, we describe the…
This is an expository note on Fedosov's construction of deformation quantization. Given a symplectic manifold and a connection on it, we show how to calculate the star-product step by step. We draw simple diagrams to solve the recursive…
Given a mechanical system $(M, \mathcal{F}(M))$, where $M$ is a Poisson manifold and $\mathcal{F}(M)$ the algebra of regular functions on $M$, it is important to be able to quantize it, in order to obtain more precise results than through…
Fedosov used flat sections of the Weyl bundle on a symplectic manifold to construct a star product $\star$ which gives rise to a deformation quantization. By extending Fedosov's method, we give an explicit, analytic construction of a sheaf…

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…
The deformation quantization by Kontsevich [arXiv:q-alg/9709040] is a way to construct an associative noncommutative star-product $\star=\times+\hbar \{\ ,\ \}_{P}+\bar{o}(\hbar)$ in the algebra of formal power series in $\hbar$ on a given…
I extend the three-dimensional q-deformed Euclidean space by a time element and discuss the algebraic structure of this quantum space together with its differential calculi. Using the star-product formalism, I will give basic operations of…
In this work we give a deformation theoretical approach to the problem of quantization. First the notion of a deformation of a noncommutative ringed space over a commutative locally ringed space is introduced within a language coming from…
Partial quotients of moment-angle complexes are topological analogues of smooth, not necessarily compact toric varieties. In 1998, Buchstaber and Panov proposed a formula for the cohomology ring of such a partial quotient in terms of a…
