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…
We study some symplectic geometric aspects of rationally connected 4-folds. As a corollary, we prove that any smooth projective 4-fold symplectic deformation equivalent to a Fano 4-fold of pseudo-index at least 2 or a rationally connected…

We introduce a pre-symplectic structure on the space of connections in a G-principal bundle over a four-manifold and a Hamiltonian action on it of the group of gauge transformations that are trivial on the boundary. The moment map is given…
We formulate a notion of $E_{-1}$ quantisation of $(-2)$-shifted Poisson structures on derived algebraic stacks, depending on a flat right connection on the structure sheaf, as solutions of a quantum master equation. We then parametrise…

This paper is part II of a series of papers on the deformation quantization on the cotangent bundle of an arbitrary manifold $Q$. For certain homogeneous star products of Weyl ordered type (which we have obtained from a Fedosov type…
The notion of the Wick star-product is covariantly introduced for a general symplectic manifold equipped with two transverse polarisations. Along the lines of Fedosov method, the explicit procedure is given to construct the Wick symbols on…
For a Fedosov manifold (symplectic manifold equipped with a symplectic torsion-free affine connection $\nabla$) admitting a metaplectic structure, we shall investigate two sequences of first order differential operators acting on sections…
In this paper we obtain a system of flat coordinates on the monodromy manifold of each of the Painlev\'e equations. This allows us to quantise such manifolds. We produce a quantum confluence procedure between cubics in such a way that…
We propose to study deformation quantizations of Whitney functions. To this end, we extend the notion of a deformation quantization to algebras of Whitney functions over a singular set, and show the existence of a deformation quantization…
One way of reconciling classical and quantum mechanics is deformation quantization, which involves deforming the commutative algebra of functions on a Poisson manifold to a non-commutative, associative algebra, reminiscent of the space of…
We use recent progress on Chern-Simons gauge theory in three dimensions [18] to give explicit, closed form formulas for the star product on some functions on the affine space ${\mathcal A}(\Sigma)$ of (smooth) connections on the trivialized…
