We present a broad family of quantum baker maps that generalize the proposal of Schack and Caves to any even Hilbert space with arbitrary boundary conditions. We identify a structure, common to all maps consisting of a simple kernel…

The Weyl-Wigner map yields the entire structure of Moyal quantum mechanics directly from the standard operator formulation. The covariant generalization of Moyal theory, also known as Vey quantum mechanics, was presented in the literature…

Our aim in this thesis is to use the language of deformation-quantization to understand certain quantized algebras by looking at properties of the corresponding commutative ones, and conversely to obtain results about the commutative…

Matrix configurations define noncommutative spaces endowed with extra structure including a generalized Laplace operator, and hence a metric structure. Made dynamical via matrix models, they describe rich physical systems including…

Let X be a Hausdorff quotient of a standard space (that is of a locally compact separable metric space). It is shown that the following are equivalent: (i) X is the image of an irreducible quotient map from a standard space; (ii) X has a…

Classical integrable Hamiltonian systems generated by elements of the Poisson commuting ring of spectral invariants on rational coadjoint orbits of the loop algebra $\wt{\gr{gl}}^{+*}(2,{\bf R})$ are integrated by separation of variables in…

In this paper a generalization of Weyl quantization which maps a dynamical operator in a function space to a dynamical superoperator in an operator space is suggested. Quantization of dynamical operator, which cannot be represented as…

We consider the eigenvalue pair correlation problem for certain integrable quantum maps on the 2-sphere. The classical maps are time one maps of Hamiltonian flows of perfect Morse functions. The quantizations are unitary operators on spaces…

Let $B$ be a quantum algebra possessing a semiclassical limit $A$. We show that under certain hypotheses $B^e$ can be thought of as a deformation of the Poisson enveloping algebra of $A$, and we give a criterion for the Hochschild…

Suppose $\mathfrak{g}$ is a semisimple complex Lie algebra and $\mathfrak{h}$ is a Cartan subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. To the pair $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h})$ one can associate both a Weyl group and a set of Kac diagrams. There is a…

We use the ambient space construction, in which spacetime is mapped into a special lightcone of a higher dimensional manifold, to derive the integrable terms of the trace anomaly in even dimensions. We argue that the natural topological…

All coboundary Lie bialgebras and their corresponding Poisson--Lie structures are constructed for the oscillator algebra generated by $\{\aa,\ap,\am,\bb\}$. Quantum oscillator algebras are derived from these bialgebras by using the…

In this work, we find the Poisson superalgebras related to schemes of quantization. Initially, we consider the Dirac superbracket in the context of the quantization of constrained systems. Next, we show the existence of a Poisson…

Kontsevich's formula for a deformation quantization of Poisson structures involves a Feynman series of graphs, with the weights given by some complicated integrals (using certain pullbacks of the standard angle form on a circe). We explain…

Since its introduction by Symons, the semigroup of maps with restricted range has been studied in the context of transformations on a set, or of linear maps on a vector space. Sets and vector spaces being particular examples of independence…

A class of Poisson algebras considered as a Poisson version of the multiparameter quantized coordinate rings of symplectic and Euclidean $2n$-spaces is constructed and the prime Poisson ideals and the symplectic ideals of these Poisson…

In this paper we study associative algebras with a Poisson algebra structure on the center acting by derivations on the rest of the algebra. These structures, which we call Poisson fibred algebras, appear in the study of quantum groups at…

We classify up to isomorphism the quantum generalized Weyl algebras and determine their automorphism groups in all cases in a uniform way, including those where the parameter q is a root of unity, thereby completing the results obtained by…

We introduce the notion of an algebraic cocycle as the algebraic analogue of a map to an Eilenberg-MacLane space. Using these cocycles we develop a ``cohomology theory" for complex algebraic varieties. The theory is bigraded, functorial,…

We give a construction of a Poisson transform mapping density valued differential forms on generalized flag manifolds to differential forms on the corresponding Riemannian symmetric spaces, which can be described entirely in terms of finite…
