For arbitrary compact quantizable Kaehler manifolds it is shown how a natural formal deformation quantization (star product) can be obtained via Berezin-Toeplitz operators. Results on their semi-classical behaviour (their asymptotic…
We introduce and study notions of bigraded formality for the algebra of forms on a complex manifold, along with their relation to higher Aeppli-Bott-Chern-Massey products which extend the case of triple products studied by…
Superanalysis can be deformed with a fermionic star product into a Clifford calculus that is equivalent to geometric algebra. With this multivector formalism it is then possible to formulate Riemannian geometry and an inhomogeneous…
This is an expository note on Fedosov's construction of deformation quantization. Given a symplectic manifold and a connection on it, we show how to calculate the star-product step by step. We draw simple diagrams to solve the recursive…
Kontsevich's formality theorem states that the differential graded Lie algebra of multidifferential operators on a manifold M is L-infinity-quasi-isomorphic to its cohomology. The construction of the L-infinity map is given in terms of…
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…
The globalization of Kontsevich's local formula (resp., the perturbative expansion of the Poisson sigma model) is described in down-to-earth terms.
These notes give an introduction to the mathematical framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky and Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky formalisms. Some of the presented content was given as a mini course by the first author at the 2018 QSPACE conference…
In these lecture notes I give an introduction to deformation quantization. The quantization problem is discussed in some detail thereby motivating the notion of star products. Starting from a deformed observable algebra, i.e. the star…
Quantization of classical systems using the star-product of symbols of observables is discussed. In the star-product scheme an analysis of dual structures is performed and a physical interpretation is proposed. At the Lie algebra level…
Given a formal symplectic groupoid $G$ over a Poisson manifold $(M, \pi_0)$, we define a new object, an infinitesimal deformation of $G$, which can be thought of as a formal symplectic groupoid over the manifold $M$ equipped with an…
We prove Kontsevich's cyclic formality conjecture.
We develop a complete theory of non-formal deformation quantization exhibiting a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position. An appropriate integral formula for the star-product is introduced together with a suitable space of functions on…
We canonically quantize a Poisson manifold to a Lie 2-groupoid, complete with a quantization map, and show that it relates geometric and deformation quantization: the perturbative expansion in $\hbar$ of the (formal) convolution of two…
Using the algebraic criterion proved by Bandiera, Manetti and Meazzini, we show the formality conjecture for universally gluable objects with linearly reductive automorphism groups in the bounded derived category of a K3 surface. As an…
The formalism of geometric algebra can be described as deformed super analysis. The deformation is done with a fermionic star product, that arises from deformation quantization of pseudoclassical mechanics. If one then extends the…
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 prove a relative version of Kontsevich's formality theorem. This theorem involves a manifold M and a submanifold C and reduces to Kontsevich's theorem if C=M. It states that the DGLA of multivector fields on an infinitesimal…
The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of holomorphic Poisson manifolds $(M,\pi)$ under the assumption of $\partial_{}\bar{\partial}$--lemma or $\partial_{\pi}\bar{\partial}$--lemma. Under these assumptions,we show that the…
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.…
