Invariant star products of Wick type: classification and quantum momentum mappings (Q703023): Difference between revisions

On a pseudo-Kähler manifold a star product is said to be of Wick type if the bi-differential operators determining the star product contain only derivatives in holomorphic directions in the first argument and only derivatives in anti-holomorphic directions in the second argument. Star products of Wick type for general Kähler manifolds were independently constructed by \textit{A.~V. Karabegov} in his work on star products with separation of variables [Commun. Math. Phys. 180, No. 3, 745--755 (1996; Zbl 0866.58037), Lett. Math. Phys. 43, No. 4, 347--357 (1998; Zbl 0938.53049)] and by \textit{M. Bordemann} and \textit{S. Waldmann} using a modified Fedosov construction with a fibrewise Wick product [Lett. Math. Phys. 41, No. 3, 243--253 (1997; Zbl 0892.53028)]. The latter results were generalized in [\textit{N. Neumaier}, Rep. Math. Phys. 52, No. 1, 43--80 (2003; Zbl 1046.53058)] where it is shown under which conditions a generalized Fedosov star product constructed using a fibrewise Wick product is of Wick type and that all star products of Wick type are generalized Fedosov star products. In the paper under review, the authors extend their investigations on invariant Fedosov star products and quantum momentum mappings to star products of Wick type on pseudo-Kähler manifolds [\textit{M. F. Müller-Bahns} and \textit{N. Neumaier}, J. Geom. Phys. 50, 257--272 (2004; Zbl 1078.53100)]. The authors use Karabegov's results to independently treat the cases of invariance of a given star product of Wick type on a pseudo-Kähler manifold with respect to the action of Lie groups and Lie algebras and prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a given star product of Wick type to be invariant in the respective sense. The authors give a complete classification of the invariant star products of Wick type. The authors adapt statements about quantum momentum maps from [Müller-Bahns and Neumaier, loc. cit.] to the case of invariant star products of Wick type. Finally some concrete examples of invariant star products of Wick type where the existence of a quantum momentum mapping is guaranteed are provided.
