Abstract: Conformally equivariant quantization is a peculiar map between symbols of real weight $delta$ and differential operators acting on tensor densities, whose real weights are designed by $lambda$ and $lambda+delta$. The existence and uniqueness of such a map has been proved by Duval, Lecomte and Ovsienko for a generic weight $delta$. Later, Silhan has determined the critical values of $delta$ for which unique existence is lost, and conjectured that for those values of $delta$ existence is lost for a generic weight $lambda$. We fully determine the cases of existence and uniqueness of the conformally equivariant quantization in terms of the values of $delta$ and $lambda$. Namely, (i) unique existence is lost if and only if there is a nontrivial conformally invariant differential operator on the space of symbols of weight $delta$, and (ii) in that case the conformally equivariant quantization exists only for a finite number of $lambda$, corresponding to nontrivial conformally invariant differential operators on $lambda$-densities. The assertion (i) is proved in the more general context of IFFT (or AHS) equivariant quantization.
