Deformation Quantization of Kahler Manifolds

Kapranov's $L_\infty$ structures, Fedosov's star products, and one-loop exact BV quantizations on Kähler manifolds

We study quantization schemes on a Kähler manifold and relate several interesting structures. We first construct Fedosov's star products on a Kähler manifold $X$ as quantizations of Kapranov's $L_\infty$-algebra structure. Then we investigate the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) quantizations associated to these star products. A remarkable feature is that they are all one-loop exact, meaning that the Feynman weights associated to graphs with two or more loops all vanish. This leads to a succinct cochain level formula in de Rham cohomology for the algebraic index.

A covariant Poisson deformation quantization with separation of variables up to the third order

We give a simple formula for the operator C_3 of the standard deformation quantization with separation of variables on a Kähler manifold M. Unlike C_1 and C_2, this operator can not be expressed in terms of the Kähler-Poisson tensor on M. We modify C_3 to obtain a covariant deformation quantization with separation of variables up to the third order which is expressed in terms of the Poisson tensor on M and thus can be defined on an arbitrary complex manifold endowed with a Poisson bivector field of type (1,1).

On deformation quantization of Dirac structures

Motivated by the problem of transverse deformation quantization of foliated manifolds, we describe a quantization of Dirac structures (more precisely, of those that are formal deformations of regular ones) to stacks of algebroids in the sense of Kontsevich.

Deformation Quantization of Endomorphism Bundles

In this preprint the notion of deformation quantization of endomorphism bundles over symplectic manifolds is defined and developed, including index theory.

Classification of polarized deformation quantizations

We give a classification of polarized deformation quantizations on a symplectic manifold with a (complex) polarization. Also, we establish a formula which relates the characteristic class of a polarized deformation quantization to its Fedosov class and the Chern class of the polarization.

Deformation Quantization of A-infinity Equivalences

We show that Deformation Quantization of quadratic Poisson structures preserves the $A_\infty$-Morita equivalence of a given pair of Koszul dual $A_\infty$-algebras.

Characteristic classes in deformation quantization

In deformation quantization one can associate five characteristic functions to (stable) formality morphisms on cochains and chains and to "two-brane" formality morphisms. We show that these characteristic functions agree.

Deformation quantization with traces and vanishing of the wheels

The paper has been withdrawn because the result of math.QA/0002057 "Deformation quantization with traces" holds only for a constant volume form.

Deformation quantization and Kähler geometry with moment map

In the first part of this paper we outline the constructions and properties of Fedosov star product and Berezin-Toeplitz star product. In the second part we outline the basic ideas and recent developments on Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture on the existence of Kähler metrics of constant scalar curvature. In the third part of the paper we outline recent results of both authors, and in particular show that the constant scalar curvature Kähler metric problem and the study of deformation quantization meet at the notion of trace (density) for star product. We formulate a cohomology formula for the inv…

Deformation quantization on a Hilbert space

We study deformation quantization on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $W$ endowed with its canonical Poisson structure. The standard example of the Moyal star-product is made explicit and it is shown that it is well defined on a subalgebra of $C^\infty(W)$. A classification of inequivalent deformation quantizations of exponential type, containing the Moyal and normal star-products, is also given.

Deformation quantization of vertex Poisson algebras

We introduce dg Lie algebras controlling the deformations of vertex algebras and vertex Poisson algebras, utilizing the notion of operadic dg Lie algebra and the theory of chiral algebra. In terms of those dg Lie algebras, we formulate the deformation quantization problem of vertex Poisson algebras to vertex algebras.

Deformation quantization of gerbes

This is the first in a series of articles devoted to deformation quantization of gerbes. Here we give basic definitions and interpret deformations of a given gerbe as Maurer-Cartan elements of a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA). We classify all deformations of a given gerbe on a symplectic manifold, as well as provide a deformation-theoretic interpretation of the first Rozansky-Witten class.

On deformations of C*-algebras by actions of Kahlerian Lie groups

We show that two approaches to equivariant strict deformation quantization of C*-algebras by actions of negatively curved Kahlerian Lie groups, one based on oscillatory integrals and the other on quantizations maps defined by dual 2-cocycles, are equivalent.

Formality of Kapranov's brackets in Kähler geometry via pre-Lie deformation theory

We recover some recent results by Dotsenko, Shadrin and Vallette on the Deligne groupoid of a pre-Lie algebra, showing that they follow naturally by a pre-Lie variant of the PBW Theorem. As an application, we show that Kapranov's $L_\infty$ algebra structure on the Dolbeault complex of a Kähler manifold is homotopy abelian and independent on the choice of Kähler metric up to an $L_\infty$ isomorphism, by making the trivializing homotopy and the $L_\infty$ isomorphism explicit.

Deformation quantization of compact Kähler manifolds via Berezin-Toeplitz operators

This talk reports on results on the deformation quantization (star products) and on approximative operator representations for quantizable compact K"ahler manifolds obtained via Berezin-Toeplitz operators. After choosing a holomorphic quantum line bundle the Berezin-Toeplitz operator associated to a differentiable function on the manifold is the operator defined by multiplying global holomorphic sections of the line bundle with this function and projecting the differentiable section back to the subspace of holomorphic sections. The results were obtained in (respectively based on) joint work wi…

Flabby strict deformation quantizations and K-groups

We construct examples of flabby strict deformation quantizations not preserving K-groups. This answers a question of Rieffel negatively.

We prove a Riemann-Roch formula for deformation quantization of complex manifolds and its corollary, an index theorem for elliptic pairs conjectured by Schapira and Schneiders.

Deformation Quantization of Coadjoint Orbits

A method for the deformation quantization of coadjoint orbits of semisimple Lie groups is proposed. It is based on the algebraic structure of the orbit. Its relation to geometric quantization and differentiable deformations is explored.

Rieffel's deformation quantization and isospectral deformations

We demonstrate the relation between the isospectral deformation and Rieffel's deformation quantization by the action of $\mathbb{R}^d$.

Deformation Quantization of Polynomial Poisson Algebras

This paper discusses the notion of a deformation quantization for an arbitrary polynomial Poisson algebra A. We examine the Hochschild cohomology group H^3(A) and find that if a deformation of A exists it can be given by bidifferential operators. We then compute an explicit third order deformation quantization of A and show that it comes from a quantized enveloping algebra. We show that the deformation extends to a fourth order deformation if and only if the quantized enveloping algebra gives a fourth order deformation; moreover we give an example where the deformation does not extend. A corre…

Twisted Deformation Quantization of Algebraic Varieties

Let X be a smooth algebraic variety over a field K containing the real numbers. We introduce the notion of twisted associative (resp. Poisson) deformation of the structure sheaf of X. These are stack-like versions of usual deformations. We prove that there is a twisted quantization operation from twisted Poisson deformations to twisted associative deformations, which is canonical and bijective on gauge equivalence classes. This result extends work of Kontsevich, and our own earlier work, on deformation quantization of algebraic varieties.

Erratum to: Deformation Quantization in Algebraic Geometry

The Correspondence between Geometric Quantization and Formal Deformation Quantization

Using the classification of formal deformation quantizations, and the formal, algebraic index theorem, I give a simple proof as to which formal deformation quantization (modulo isomorphism) is derived from a given geometric quantization.

Deformation Quantization for Supermanifolds via Gelfand-Kazhdan Descent

We construct a canonical deformation quantization for symplectic supermanifolds. This gives a novel proof of the super-analogue of Fedosov quantization. Our proof uses the formalism of Gelfand-Kazhdan descent, whose foundations we establish in the super-symplectic setting.

Deformation quantization of contact manifolds

We extend Fedosov deformation quantization to general contact manifolds. Unlike the case of symplectic manifolds, not every classical observable on a contact manifold is generally quantized. On examination of possible obstructions to quantization, we obtain some new invariants of contact manifolds.

On the Representation Theory of Deformation Quantization

In this contribution to the proceedings of the 68eme Rencontre entre Physiciens Theoriciens et Mathematiciens on Deformation Quantization I shall report on some recent joint work with Henrique Bursztyn on the representation theory of *-algebras arising from deformation quantization as I presented this in my talk.

Noncommutative solitons on Kahler manifolds

We construct a new class of scalar noncommutative multi-solitons on an arbitrary Kahler manifold by using Berezin's geometric approach to quantization and its generalization to deformation quantization. We analyze the stability condition which arises from the leading 1/hbar correction to the soliton energy and for homogeneous Kahler manifolds obtain that the stable solitons are given in terms of generalized coherent states. We apply this general formalism to a number of examples, which include the sphere, hyperbolic plane, torus and general symmetric bounded domains. As a general feature we no…

Wick Quantization of Cotangent Bundles over Riemannian Manifolds

A simple geometric procedure is proposed for constructing Wick symbols on cotangent bundles to Riemannian manifolds. The main ingredient of the construction is a method of endowing the cotangent bundle with a formal Kähler structure. The formality means that the metric is lifted from the Riemannian manifold $Q$ to its phase space $T^\ast Q$ in the form of formal power series in momenta with the coefficients being tensor fields on the base. The corresponding Kähler two-form on the total space of $T^\ast Q$ coincides with the canonical symplectic form, while the canonical projection of the Kähle…

Lectures on Deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds

These notes are based on the course given at the School of Geometry, University Kasdi Merbah (Ouargla) 2012. The aim of the course was the deformation quantization of Poisson Lie groups. In these notes we only review Kontsevich's formality theorem.

Derived Algebraic Geometry and Deformation Quantization

This is a report on recent progress concerning the interactions between derived algebraic geometry and deformation quantization. We present the notion of derived algebraic stacks, of shifted symplectic and Poisson structures, as well as the construction of deformation quantization of shifted Poisson structures. As an application we propose a general construction of the quantization of the moduli space of $G$-bundles on an oriented space of arbitrary dimension.

Induction of representations in deformation quantization

We discuss the procedure of Rieffel induction of representations in the framework of formal deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds. We focus on the central role played by algebraic notions of complete positivity.

Bargmann-Fock sheaves on Kähler manifolds

Fedosov used flat sections of the Weyl bundle on a symplectic manifold to construct a star product $\star$ which gives rise to a deformation quantization. By extending Fedosov's method, we give an explicit, analytic construction of a sheaf of Bargmann-Fock modules over the Weyl bundle of a Kähler manifold $X$ equipped with a compatible Fedosov abelian connection, and show that the sheaf of flat sections forms a module sheaf over the sheaf of deformation quantization algebras defined $(C^\infty_X[[\hbar]], \star)$. This sheaf can be viewed as the $\hbar$-expansion of $L^{\otimes k}$ as $k \to \…

Topological Hopf algebras, quantum groups and deformation quantization

After a presentation of the context and a brief reminder of deformation quantization, we indicate how the introduction of natural topological vector space topologies on Hopf algebras associated with Poisson Lie groups, Lie bialgebras and their doubles explains their dualities and provides a comprehensive framework. Relations with deformation quantization and applications to the deformation quantization of symmetric spaces are described

Deformation quantization of compact Kaehler manifolds by Berezin-Toeplitz quantization

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 expansion) due to Bordemann, Meinrenken and Schlichenmaier are used in an essential manner. It is shown that the star product is null on constants and fulfills parity. A trace is constructed and the relation to deformation quantization by geometric quantization is given.

A new construction of strict deformation quantization for Lagrangian fiber bundles

We give a new construction of strict deformation quantization of symplectic manifolds equipped with a proper Lagrangian fiber bundle structure, whose representation spaces are the quantum Hilbert spaces obtained by geometric quantization. The construction can be regarded as a "lattice approximation of the correspondence between differential operators and principal symbols". We analyze the corresponding formal deformation quantization. We also investigate into relations between our construction and Berezin-Toeplitz deformation quantization.

Strict Deformation Quantization for Actions of a Class of Symplectic Lie Groups

We present explicit universal strict deformation quantization formulae for actions of Iwasawa subgroups AN of SU(1,n). This answers a question raised by Rieffel.

Identification of Berezin-Toeplitz deformation quantization

We give a complete identification of the deformation quantization which was obtained from the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on an arbitrary compact Kaehler manifold. The deformation quantization with the opposite star-product proves to be a differential deformation quantization with separation of variables whose classifying form is explicitly calculated. Its characteristic class (which classifies star-products up to equivalence) is obtained. The proof is based on the microlocal description of the Szegoe kernel of a strictly pseudoconvex domain given by Boutet de Monvel and Sjoestrand.
