Explicit formula for the natural and projectively equivariant quantization

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In [8], P. Lecomte conjectured the existence of a natural and projectively equivariant quantization. In [1], M. Bordemann proved this existence using the framework of Thomas-Whitehead connections. In [9], we gave a new proof of the same theorem thanks to the Cartan connections. After these works there was no explicit formula for the quantization. In this paper, we give this formula using the formula in terms of Cartan connections given in [9]. This explicit formula constitutes the generalization to any order of the formulae at second and third orders soon published by Bouarroudj in [2] and [3].


The existence of a quantization procedure depending on a torsion-free connection, that would be natural in all arguments and left invariant by a projective change of connections, was conjectured by \textit{P. B. A. Lecomte} [Prog. Theor. Phys. Suppl. 144, 125--132, (2001; Zbl 1012.53069)]. After the proof of the existence of such a natural and projectively equivariant quantization by \textit{M. Bordemann} [math.DG/0208171] by means of Thomas-Whitehead connections, the author of present paper, together with \textit{P. Mathonet}, analyzed in [Lett. Math. Phys. 72, No.~3, 183--196, (2005; Zbl 1091.53006)], the problem of this existence using Cartan connections. In this paper, an explicit formula is presented for the natural and projectively equivariant quatizantion as a generalization of the formulae at second and third order recently published by \textit{S. Bouarroudj} in [Lett. Math. Phys. 51, No.~4, 265--274, (2000; Zbl 1067.53071)] and [C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Sér. I Math., 333, No.~4, 343--346, (2001; Zbl 0997.53015)].
