In this review an overview on some recent developments in deformation quantization is given. After a general historical overview we motivate the basic definitions of star products and their equivalences both from a mathematical and a…
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 develop an approach to the deformation quantization on the real plane with an arbitrary Poisson structure which based on Weyl symmetrically ordered operator products. By using a polydifferential representation for deformed coordinates…
This work is the final version of my master thesis. Many, but not all of its key results are already available as a preprint with Chiara Esposito and Stefan Waldmann on arxiv.org under the title "Convergence of the Gutt Star Product", which…
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…
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…
We study deformation quantization on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $W$ endowed with its canonical Poisson structure. The standard example of the Moyal star-product is made explicit and it is shown that it is well defined on a…
We first review the introduction of star products in connection with deformations of Poisson brackets and the various cohomologies that are related to them. Then we concentrate on what we have called ``closed star products" and their…
Based on a closed formula for a star product of Wick type on $\CP^n$, which has been discovered in an earlier article of the authors, we explicitly construct a subalgebra of the formal star-algebra (with coefficients contained in the…
Starting with the well-defined product of quantum fields at two spacetime points, we explore an associated Poisson structure for classical field theories within the deformation quantization formalism. We realize that the induced…
A star-product formalism describing deformations of the standard quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator is introduced. A number of existing generalized oscillators occur as particular choises of star-products between the elements of the…
One defines the notion of universal deformation quantization: given any manifold $M$, any Poisson structure $\P$ on $M$ and any torsionfree linear connection $\nabla$ on $M$, a universal deformation quantization associates to this data a…
We prove the existence of a deformation quantization for integrable Poisson structures on R^3 and give a generalization for a special class of three dimensional manifolds.
Whenever a given Poisson manifold is equipped with discrete symmetries the corresponding algebra of invariant functions or the algebra of functions twisted by the symmetry group can have new deformations, which are not captured by…
This dissertation is an exposition of Kontsevich's proof of the formality theorem and the classification of deformation quantisation on a Poisson manifold. We begin with an account of the physical background and introduce the Weyl-Moyal…
Deformation theory refers to an apparatus in many parts of math and physics for going from an infinitesimal (= first order) deformation to a full deformation, either formal or convergent appropriately. If the algebra being deformed is that…
The relation between the Moyal-Weyl deformation quantization and quasiconformal mappings of Riemann surfaces of complex analysis are shown by several examples.
Adopting a purely group-theoretical point of view, we consider the star product of functions which is associated, in a natural way, with a square integrable (in general, projective) representation of a locally compact group. Next, we show…
On the Poincar\'e disc and its higher-dimensional analogs one has a canonical formal star product of Wick type. We define a locally convex topology on a certain class of real-analytic functions on the disc for which the star product is…
Guided by recent developments towards the implementation of the deformation quantization program within the Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) formalism, in this paper we address the introduction of both the integral and differential…
