The Weyl-Wigner-Groenewold-Moyal formalism of deformation quantization is applied to cosmological models in the minisuperspace. The quantization procedure is performed explicitly for quantum cosmology in a flat minisuperspace. The de Sitter…
This short summary of recent developments in quantum compact groups and star products is divided into 2 parts. In the first one we recast star products in a more abstract form as deformations and review its recent developments. The second…
Besides its various applications in string and D-brane physics, the $\theta$-deformation of space (-time) coordinates (naively called the noncommutativity of coordinates), based on the $\star$-product, behaves as a more general framework…
The aim of this proceeding is to give a basic introduction to Deformation Quantization (DQ) to physicists. We compare DQ to canonical quantization and path integral methods. It is described how certain issues such as the roles of…
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…
We construct a multiple star product method and by using this method, show that integral forms of some star products can be written in terms of the path-integral. This method can be applied to some examples. Especially, the associativity of…
We consider formal deformations of the Poisson algebra of functions (with singularities) on $T^*M$ which are Laurent polynomials of fibers. Tn the case: $\dim M=1$ ($M=S^1, {\bf R}$), there exists a non-trivial $\star$-product on this…
It has been suggested that star products in phase-space quantization may be augmented to describe additional, classical effects. That proposal is examined critically here. Two known star products that introduce classical effects are: the…
We present a short review of the approach to quantization known as strict (deformation) quantization, which can be seen as a generalization of the Weyl-Moyal quantization. We include examples and comments on the process of quantization.
Deformation quantization (sometimes called phase-space quantization) is a formulation of quantum mechanics that is not usually taught to undergraduates. It is formally quite similar to classical mechanics: ordinary functions on phase space…
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…
We propose a new star pruduct which interpolates the Berezin and Moyal quantization. A multiple of this product is shown to reduce to a path-integral quantization in the continuous time limit. In flat space the action becomes the one of…
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…
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…
We present the star-product algebra of the kappa-deformation of Minkowski space and the formulation of Poincare covariant differential calculus. We use these tools to construct a twisted K-cycle over the algebra and a twisted cyclic…
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…
To each natural deformation quantization on a Poisson manifold M we associate a Poisson morphism from the formal neighborhood of the zero section of the cotangent bundle to M to the formal neighborhood of the diagonal of the product M x M~,…
This article is a survey of recent work of the authors developing a new approach to quantization based on the equivariance with respect to some Lie group of symmetries. Examples are provided by conformal and projective differential…
The paper develop the alternative formulation of quantum mechanics known as the phase space quantum mechanics or deformation quantization. It is shown that the quantization naturally arises as an appropriate deformation of the classical…
We provide and discuss complex analytic methods for overcoming the formal character of formal deformation quantization. This is a necessity for returning to physically meaningful statements, and accounts for the fact that the formal…
