It is shown that a (curved) projective structure on a smooth manifold determines on the Poisson algebra of smooth, fiberwise-polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle a one-parameter family of graded star products. For a particular value…
We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a conformally equivariant symbol calculus and quantization on any conformally flat pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,\rg)$. In other words, we establish a canonical isomorphism between the spaces of…
This article is a survey of recent work of the authors developing a new approach to quantization based on the equivariance with respect to some Lie group of symmetries. Examples are provided by conformal and projective differential…
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…
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…
A covariant Poisson bracket and an associated covariant star product in the sense of deformation quantization are defined on the algebra of tensor-valued differential forms on a symplectic manifold, as a generalization of similar structures…
We propose a new formula for the star product in deformation quantization of Poisson structures related in a specific way to a variational problem for a function $S$, interpreted as the action functional. Our approach is motivated by…
We present a proof that every star-product defined on a Poisson manifold and written in a given quantum canonical coordinate system is uniquely equivalent with a Moyal product associated with this coordinate system. The equivalence is…
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…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold $M$, we consider a warped product $\bar M = I \times_h M$ where $I$ is an open interval in $\Bbb R$. For a positive function $\psi$ defined on $\bar M$, we generalized the arguments in \cite{GRW2015} and…
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…
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 following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Consider the space $\Lambda_m=\set{(t,O), t\in\R, O\in SO(m)}$ with the natural measure and set…
In the present paper we explicitly construct deformation quantizations of certain Poisson structures on E^*, where E -> M is a Lie algebroid. Although the considered Poisson structures in general are far from being regular or even…
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…
In the literature there are two different ways of describing an invariant star product on $S^2$. We show that the products are actually the same. We also calculate the canonical trace and use the Fedosov-Nest-Tsygan index theorem to obtain…
Lecomte and Ovsienko constructed $SL_{n+1}(R)$-equivariant quantization maps $Q_\lambda$ for symbols of differential operators on $\lambda$-densities on $\RP^n$. We derive some formulas for the associated graded equivariant star products…
An analogue of the Moyal star product is presented for the deformed oscillator algebra. It contains several homotopy-like additional integration parameters in the multiplication kernel generalizing the differential Moyal star-product…
We explicitly construct a star product for the complex Grassmann manifolds using the method of phase space reduction. Functions on $\mathbb{C}^{(p+q)\cdot p~*}$, the space of $(p+q)\times p$ matrices of rank p, invariant under the right…
Let M be a Poisson manifold equipped with a Hermitian star product. We show that any positive linear functional on C^\infty(M) can be deformed into a positive linear functional with respect to the star product.
