A convergent star product for linear Poisson structures (Q871796): Difference between revisions

Let \({\mathfrak g}\) be a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra. The purpose of the paper under review is to construct a certain explicit star product \(\star_\alpha^\Gamma\) on the Lie-Poisson space~\({\mathfrak g}^*\) and to investigate some of its basic properties. The method of construction extends the one developed by M.~Kontsevich. One proves that the product \(\star_\alpha^\Gamma\) is equivalent to the Kontsevich star product and also to the star product of \textit{M. A.~Rieffel} [Am. J. Math. 112, No.~4, 657--686 (1990; Zbl 0713.58054)]. Some of the properties of \(\star_\alpha^\Gamma\) pointed out in the present paper are that it is an analytic, strict, relative, closed, real star product which is nonsymmetric. One also proves that \(\star_\alpha^\Gamma\) is a deformation quantization by partial embeddings of the algebra of test functions \(C_c^\infty({\mathfrak g})\). In the case when \({\mathfrak g}\) is a nilpotent Lie algebra, the product~\(\star_\alpha^\Gamma\) is a strict deformation quantization on the Schwartz space~\({\mathcal S}({\mathfrak g})\).
