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.
The multidimensional quantization procedure, proposed by the first author and its modifications (reduction to radicals and lifting on U(1)-coverings) give us a almost universal theoretical tools to find irreducible representations of Lie…
We analyze the polymer representation of quantum mechanics within the deformation quantization formalism. In particular, we construct the Wigner function and the star-product for the polymer representation as a distributional limit of the…
Deformation quantization is a formal deformation of the algebra of smooth functions on some manifold. In the classical setting, the Poisson bracket serves as an initial conditions, while the associativity allows to proceed to higher orders.…

We show that the deformation theory of Fr\'echet algebras for actions of K\"ahlerian Lie groups developed by two of us, leads in a natural way to examples of non-compact locally compact quantum groups. This is achieved by constructing a…
The purpose of this Note is to unify quantum groups and star-products under a general umbrella: quantum groupoids. It is shown that a quantum groupoid naturally gives rise to a Lie bialgebroid as a classical limit. The converse question,…

Deformation theory can be used to compute the cohomology of a deformed algebra with coefficients in itself from that of the original. Using the invariance of the Euler-Poincare characteristic under deformation, it is applied here to compute…
