Quantization of conjugacy classes in a Lie group
Let $G$ be a Lie group (and to be safe, let's assume it is semisimple). Consider the action of $G$ on itself by conjugation, and form the GIT (algebro-geometric) quotient $G/\!/G$. Then let $\pi:G\...

Is the quantum algebra unique (up to isomorphism) in deformation quantization ?
Consider a Poisson algebra A (i.e. commutative algebra with Poisson bracket).
Let $\hat A$ be a deformation quantization of the algebra A. We know that construction of deformation quantization and ...

Analogue of Kontsevich's formality theorem for quantization of Courant algebroids
In his 1997 preprint, M. Kontsevich proved the formality of the differential graded algebra controlling deformations of the associative and commutative algebra of functions on a manifold, seen as an ...

Deformation quantization of Poisson bracket without star-product
Kontsevich's formality theorem implies in particular that star-products on a $C^\infty$-manifold $M$,
$$f\star g = fg + \sum_{k\geq1} \hbar^k B_k(f,g),\qquad f,g\in C^\infty(M),$$ where $B_k$ are ...

Quantization of $S^2$ as $C^*$-algebra?
The general context for the question - is belief that quantization of compact symplectic manifolds can be endowed with the structure of $C^*$-algebra (see MO230695).
The particular question is about ...

Existence/characterization/properties of $C^*$-algebras which "are" quantization of compact symplectic manifolds?
Understanding of "quantization" achieved much progress recent years, especially after Kontsevich breakthrough on deformation quantization, where he proved one-to-one correspondence between Poisson ...

Coherent states vs quantization of Lagrangian submanifold
Coherent states http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_states
are vectors in the Hilbert space which in certain sense are strongly localized
and "corresponds" to points in classical phase space (see ...

Kontsevich's formality theorem from an explicit homotopy
Suppose that $X$ is a smooth manifold, whose $C^{\infty}$-functions we denote by $A$. Let $D_{poly}^*(A):=\bigoplus_{n\geq -1}Hom(A^{\otimes n+1},A)$ be the Lie algebra of polydifferential operators ...

Equivalence of star products on two differents Poisson algebras?
Let $A$, $B$ be two commutative and associative $\mathbb k$-algebras and let $A_\hbar:=A[[\hbar]]$, $B_\hbar:=B[[\hbar]]$ be the corresponding ring of formal series. Of sense [Deformation theory and ...
