Axiomatic quantum field theory (QFT) provides a rigorous mathematical foundation for QFT, and it is the basis for proving some important general results, such as the well-known spin-statistics theorem. Free-field QFT meets the axioms of…
Invariant star products are constructed on minimal coadjoint orbits of all the simple Lie algebras. Explicit expressions are given for the generators of the Joseph ideals and the associated infinitesimal characters.
We define a Fr\'echet topology on the space $C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]]$ of formal smooth functions on a symplectic manifold $X$, by constructing a sequence of semi-norms on it. For any star product $\star$ on $C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]]$ making it a…
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…
Recently M. Kontsevich found a combinatorial formula defining a star-product of deformation quantization for any Poisson manifold. Kontsevich's formula has been reinterpreted physically as quantum correlation functions of a topological…
We canonically quantize a Poisson manifold to a Lie 2-groupoid, complete with a quantization map, and show that it relates geometric and deformation quantization: the perturbative expansion in $\hbar$ of the (formal) convolution of two…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a symplectic orbifold which is locally like the quotient of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ action on $\reals^n$. Let $A^{((\hbar))}_X$ be a deformation quantization of $X$ constructed via the standard Fedosov method with…
The problem of renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory (pQFT) can be described in a rigorous way through the theory of extension of distributions. In the framework of pQFT a certain type of distribution appears, given by…
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…
Noncommutative quantum mechanics can be considered as a first step in the construction of quantum field theory on noncommutative spaces of generic form, when the commutator between coordinates is a function of these coordinates. In this…
Using the Hopf fibration and starting from a four dimensional noncommutative Moyal plane, $R^2_{\theta}\times R^2_{\theta}$, we obtain a star-product for the noncommutative (fuzzy) $R^3_{\lambda}$ defined by…
We analyze the star product induced on the algebra of functions on R^3 by a suitable reduction of the Moyal product defined on F(R^4). This is obtained through the identification of R^3 with the dual of a three dimensional Lie algebra. We…
We study properties of a family of algebraic star products defined on coadjoint orbits of semisimple Lie groups. We connect this description with the point of view of differentiable deformations and geometric quantization.
Covariance ties the noncommutative deformation of a space into a quantum space closely to the deformation of the symmetry into a quantum symmetry. Quantum deformations of enveloping algebras are governed by Drinfeld twists, inner…
Perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (pAQFT) is based upon formal power series valued in spaces of functionals. This is usually done with microcausal functionals, which are defined using microlocal analysis and motivated by…
We construct a family of fermionic star products generalising the fermionic Moyal product. The parameter space contains the polarisations necessary to define a quantum Hilbert space. We find a star product of fermionic functions on sections…
We give an explicit construction of a deformation quantization of the algebra of functions on a Poisson manifolds, based on Kontsevich's local formula. The deformed algebra of functions is realized as the algebra of horizontal sections of a…
