Symplectic Connection

The characteristic class of a star product on a symplectic manifold appears as the class of a deformation of a given symplectic connection, as described by Fedosov. In contrast, one usually thinks of the characteristic class of a star product as the class of a deformation of the Poisson structure (as in Kontsevich's work). In this paper, we present, in the symplectic framework, a natural procedure for constructing a star product by directly quantizing a deformation of the symplectic structure. Basically, in Fedosov's recursive formula for the star product with zero characteristic class, we replace the symplectic structure by one of its formal deformations in the parameter ℏ. We then show that every equivalence class of star products contains such an element. Moreover, within a given class, equivalences between such star products are realized by formal one-parameter families of diffeomorphisms, as produced by Moser's argument.

General realizations, star products and plane waves for κ-Minkowski space–time are considered. Systematic construction of general Hermitian realization is presented, with special emphasis on noncommutative plane waves and Hermitian star product. Few examples are elaborated and possible physical applications are mentioned.

Abstract Assume the existence of a Fukaya category $\textrm{Fuk}(X)$ of a compact symplectic manifold $X$ with some expected properties. In this paper, we show $\mathscr{A} \subset \textrm{Fuk}(X)$ split generates a summand $\textrm{Fuk}(X)_e \subset \textrm{Fuk}(X)$ corresponding to an idempotent $e \in QH^{\bullet }(X)$ if the Mukai pairing of $\mathscr{A}$ is perfect. Moreover, we show $HH^{\bullet }(\mathscr{A}) \cong QH^{\bullet }(X) e$. As an application, we compute the quantum cohomology and the Fukaya category of a blow-up of $\mathbb{C} P^2$ at four points with a monotone symplectic structure.

We introduce the concept of a variational tricomplex, which is applicable both to variational and nonvariational gauge systems. Assigning this tricomplex with an appropriate symplectic structure and a Cauchy foliation, we establish a general correspondence between the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian pictures of one and the same (not necessarily variational) dynamics. In practical terms, this correspondence allows one to construct the generating functional of a weak Poisson structure starting from that of a Lagrange structure. As a byproduct, a covariant procedure is proposed for deriving the classical BRST charge of the BFV formalism by a given BV master action. The general approach is illustrated by the examples of Maxwell’s electrodynamics and chiral bosons in two dimensions.

Conformal Covariance

It was shown in [1], only for scalar conformal fields, that the Moyal–Weyl star product can introduce the quantum effect as the phase factor to the ordinary product. In this paper we show that, even on the same complex structure, the Moyal–Weyl star product of two j-differentials (conformal fields of weights (j, 0)) does not vanish but it generates the quantum effect at the first order of its perturbative series. More generally, we get the explicit expression of the Moyal–Weyl star product of j-differentials defined on any complex structure of a bi-dimensional Riemann surface Σ. We show that the star product of two j-differentials is not a j-differential and does not preserve the conformal covariance character. This can shed some light on the Moyal–Weyl deformation quantization procedure connection's with the deformation of complex structures on a Riemann surface. Hence, the situation might relate the star products to the Moduli and Teichmüller spaces of Riemann surfaces.

Given a compact symplectic manifold M, with integral symplectic form, we prequantize a certain class of functions on the path space for M. The functions in question are induced by functions on M. We apply our construction to study the symplectic structure on the solution space of Klein–Gordon equation.

AbstractIn this paper, we discuss continuity properties of the Wick-type star product on the 2-sphere, interpreted as a coadjoint orbit. Star products on coadjoint orbits in general have been constructed by different techniques. We compare the constructions of Alekseev–Lachowska and Karabegov, and we prove that they agree in general. In the case of the 2-sphere, we establish the continuity of the star product, thereby allowing for a completion to a Fréchet algebra.

Poisson Bivector

In his celebrated paper Kontsevich has proved a theorem which manifestly gives a quantum product (deformation quantization formula) and states that changing coordinates leads to gauge equivalent star products. To illuminate his procedure, we make an arbitrary change of coordinates in the Weyl (Moyal) product and obtain the deformation quantization formula up to the third order. In this way, the Poisson bivector is shown to depend on ℏ and not to satisfy the Jacobi identity. It is also shown that the values of coefficients in the formula obtained follow from associativity of the star product.

Abstract According to the Weinstein splitting theorem, any Poisson manifold is locally, near any given point, a product of a symplectic manifold with another Poisson manifold whose Poisson structure vanishes at the point. Similar splitting results are known, e.g., for Lie algebroids, Dirac structures and generalized complex structures. In this paper, we develop a novel approach towards these results that leads to various generalizations, including their equivariant versions as well as their formulations in new contexts.
