Complete positivity of Rieffel's deformation quantization by actions of \(\mathbb R^d\) (Q2389203)

The authors consider Rieffel' s deformation by actions of \(\mathbb R^d\) in general and prove that every state of the underformed algebra can be deformed into a continuous field of states for the field of deformed algebras. Moreover, the authors give an explicit construction including a detailed study of the asymptotics of the deformed states for \(\hbar \rightarrow 0\). It turns out that the asymptotic expansion coincides in a precise sense with the formal deformations obtained in [\textit{H. Bursztyn} and \textit{S. Waldmann}, On positive deformations of \(\ast\)-algebras. Conférence Moshé Flato 1999: Quantization, deformations, and symmetries, Dijon, France, September 5--8, 1999. Volume II.
