We first review the historical developments, both in physics and in mathematics, that preceded (and in some sense provided the background of) deformation quantization. Then we describe the birth of the latter theory and its evolution in the…
In this paper we consider C*-algebraic deformations a la Rieffel and show that every state of the undeformed algebra can be deformed into a state of the deformed algebra in the sense of a continuous field of states. The construction is…
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 study the representation theory of quantizations of Gieseker moduli spaces. We describe the categories of finite dimensional representations for all parameters and categories O for special values of parameters. We find the values of…
The paper is devoted to integral quantization, a procedure based on operator-valued measure and resolution of the identity. We insist on covariance properties in the important case where group representation theory is involved. We also…
Deformation Theory is a natural generalization of Lie Theory, from Lie groups and their linearization, Lie algebras, to differential graded Lie algebras and their higher order deformations, quantum groups. The article focuses on two basic…
We describe new constructions of the infinite-dimensional representations of $U(\mathfrak{g})$ and $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ for $\mathfrak{g}$ being $\mathfrak{gl}(N)$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(N)$. The application of these constructions to the quantum…

We review the application of the loop representation to gauge theories and general relativity. The emphasis lies on exhibiting the loop calculus techniques, and their application to the canonical quantization. We discuss the role that knot…
The aim of this proceeding is to give a basic introduction to Deformation Quantization (DQ) to physicists. We compare DQ to canonical quantization and path integral methods. It is described how certain issues such as the roles of…
The concept of $q$-deformation, or ``$q$-analogue'' arises in many areas of mathematics. In algebra and representation theory, it is the origin of quantum groups; $q$-deformations are important for knot invariants, combinatorial…
Consider a symmetric quantum state on an n-fold product space, that is, the state is invariant under permutations of the n subsystems. We show that, conditioned on the outcomes of an informationally complete measurement applied to a number…
We introduce new definitions of states and of representations of covariance systems. The GNS-construction is generalized to this context. It associates a representation with each state of the covariance system. Next, states are extended to…
These notes discuss various aspect of the ``representation theory'' of Poisson manifolds, with focus on Morita equivalence and Picard groups. We give a brief introduction to Poisson geometry (including Dirac and twisted Poisson structures)…
The representation of numbers by tensor product states of composite quantum systems is examined. Consideration is limited to k-ary representations of length L and arithmetic modulo k^{L}. An abstract representation on an L fold tensor…
We use the theory of the quantum group $U_q(gl(2,\RR))$ in order to develop a quantum theory of invariants and show a decomposition of invariants into a Gordan-Capelli series. Higher binary forms are introduced on the basis of braided…
The main notions of the quantum groups: coproduct, action and coaction, representation and corepresentation are discussed using simplest examples: $GL_q(2)$, $sl_q(2)$, $q$-oscillator algebra ${\cal A}(q)$, and reflection equation algebra.…
This paper is a continuation of our first paper [10] in which we showed how deformation theory of representation varieties can be used to study finite simple quotients of triangle groups. While in Part I, we mainly used deformations of the…
In this work we give a deformation theoretical approach to the problem of quantization. First the notion of a deformation of a noncommutative ringed space over a commutative locally ringed space is introduced within a language coming from…
A new representation for canonical gravity and supergravity is presented, which combines advantages of Ashtekar's and the Wheeler~DeWitt representation: it has a nice geometric structure and the singular metric problem is absent. A formal…
