Deformation quantization of the \(n\)-tuple point (Q1809230): Difference between revisions

It is well known that, contrary to the classical methods of quantum mechanics, the deformation quantization can be carried out on phase spaces which are not even topological manifolds. In particular, the Moyal star product gives rise to a canonical functor \( F \) from the category of affine analytic spaces \( X \) to the category of associative (in general non-commutative) complex algebras. In the paper under review, the author considers the particular case when \( X \) is an \(n\)-tuple point, \( x ^n = 0, \) and proves that in this case \( F(X) \) can be identified with the complex algebra of \( n \times n \) matrices.
