Deformation quantization in singular spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a method of quantizing analytic spaces X immersed in an arbitrary smooth ambient manifold M. Remarkably our approach can be applied to singular spaces. We begin by quantizing the cotangent bundle of the manifold M. Using a super-manifold framework we modify the Fedosov construction in a way such that the star-product of the functions lifted from the base manifold turns out to be the usual commutative product of smooth functions on M. This condition allows us to lift the ideals associated to the analytic spaces on the base manifold to form left (or right) ideals on (mcOOmega1M[[hbar]],starl) in a way independent of the choice of generators and leading to a finite set of PDEs defining the functions in the quantum algebra associated to X. Some examples are included.
