Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\g$ its Lie algebra, and $U_h(\g)$ the corresponding quantum group. We consider some examples of $U_h(\g)$-invariant one and two parameter quantizations on $G$-manifolds.

Quantum field theory unifies concepts from quantum theory and from special relativity. Its mathematically rigorous description is quite intricate and is only partially understood; this is particularly true for the construction of operators…
Families of conformal field theories are naturally endowed with a Riemannian geometry which is locally encoded by correlation functions of exactly marginal operators. We show that the curvature of such conformal manifolds can be computed…
