This paper deals with two aspects of the theory of characteristic classes of star products: first, on an arbitrary Poisson manifold, we describe Morita equivalent star products in terms of their Kontsevich classes; second, on symplectic…
In this paper we investigate equivariant Morita theory for algebras with momentum maps and compute the equivariant Picard groupoid in terms of the Picard groupoid explicitly. We consider three types of Morita theory: ring-theoretic…
Various aspects of Morita theory of deformed algebras and in particular of star product algebras on general Poisson manifolds are discussed. We relate the three flavours ring-theoretic Morita equivalence, $^*$-Morita equivalence, and strong…
Based on the usual Fedosov construction of star products for a symplectic manifold M we give a simple geometric construction of a bimodule deformation for the sections of a vector bundle over M starting with a symplectic connection on M and…
In this note we classify invariant star products with quantum momentum maps on symplectic manifolds by means of an equivariant characteristic class taking values in the equivariant cohomology. We establish a bijection between the…
We develop a general framework for the study of strong Morita equivalence in which $C^*$-algebras and hermitian star products on Poisson manifolds are treated in equal footing. We compare strong and ring-theoretic Morita equivalences in…
We show that given two smooth affine varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ such that their rings of differential operators are Morita equivalent, then corresponding cotangent bundles are isomorphic as symplectic varieties.
We define a natural class of star products: those which are given by a series of bidifferential operators which at order $k$ in the deformation parameter have at most $k$ derivatives in each argument. We show that any such star product on a…
We present a simple no-go theorem for the existence of a deformation quantization of a homogeneous space M induced by a Drinfel'd twist: we argue that equivariant line bundles on M with non-trivial Chern class and symplectic twist star…
In this paper we show how deformation quantization of line bundles over a Poisson manifold $M$ produces a canonical action $\Phi$ of the Picard group $\Pic(M)\cong H^2(M,\mathbb Z)$ on the moduli space of equivalence classes of differential…
The characteristic class of a star product on a symplectic manifold appears as the class of a deformation of a given symplectic connection, as described by Fedosov. In contrast, one usually thinks of the characteristic class of a star…
We associate to any integrable Poisson manifold a stack, i.e. a category fibered in groupoids over a site. The site in question has objects Dirac manifolds and morphisms pairs consisting of a smooth map and a closed 2-form. We show that two…
We consider closed symplectically aspherical manifolds, i.e. closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ satisfying the condition $[\omega]|_{\pi_2M}=0$. Rudyak and Oprea [RO] remarked that such manifolds have nice and controllable homotopy…
In this paper is considered a problem of defining natural star-products on symplectic manifolds, admissible for quantization of classical Hamiltonian systems. First, a construction of a star-product on a cotangent bundle to an Euclidean…
In this paper, the notion of star products with separation of variables on a Kahler manifold is extended to bimodule deformations of (anti-) holomorphic vector bundles over a Kahler manifold. Here the Fedosov construction is appropriately…
To each natural star product on a Poisson manifold $M$ we associate an antisymplectic involutive automorphism of the formal neighborhood of the zero section of the cotangent bundle of $M$. If $M$ is symplectic, this mapping is shown to be…
We present a deformed star-product for a particle in the presence of a magnetic monopole. The product is obtained within a self-dual quantization-dequantization scheme, with the correspondence between classical observables and operators…
We prove that the generalized symplectic capacities recognize objects in symplectic categories whose objects are of the form $(M, \omega)$, such that $M$ is a compact and 1-connected manifold, $\omega$ is an exact symplectic form on $M$,…
In these notes we consider the usual Fedosov star product on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ emanating from the fibrewise Weyl product $\circ$, a symplectic torsion free connection $\nabla$ on M, a formal series $\Omega \in \nu…
In this note we consider a quantum reduction scheme in deformation quantization on symplectic manifolds proposed by Bordemann, Herbig and Waldmann based on BRST cohomology. We explicitly construct the induced map on equivalence classes of…
