Abstract

One defines the notion of universal deformation quantization: given any manifold MM, any Poisson structure \P on MM and any torsionfree linear connection \nabla on MM, a universal deformation quantization associates to this data a star product on (M,)(M,\P) given by a series of bidifferential operators whose corresponding tensors are given by universal polynomial expressions in the Poisson tensor \P, the curvature tensor RR and their covariant iterated derivatives. Such universal deformation quantization exist. We study their unicity at order 3 in the deformation parameter, computing the appropriate universal Poisson cohomology.
