On the existence of star products on quotient spaces of linear Hamiltonian torus actions (Q1039600)

The purpose of this note is to discuss BFV deformation quantization [\textit{M. Bordemann, H.-C. Herbig} and \textit{M. J. Pflaum}, in: Singularity theory. Proceedings of the 2005 Marseille singularity school and conference, CIRM, Marseille, France, January 24--February 25, 2005. Dedicated to Jean-Paul Brasselet on his 60th birthday. Singapore: World Scientific. 443--461 (2007; Zbl 1128.53060)] in the special case of a linear Hamiltonian torus action. In particular it is shown that the Koszul complex on the moment map of an effective linear Hamiltonian torus action is acyclic. The authors rephrase the nonpositivity condition of \textit{J. M. Arms, M. J. Gotay} and \textit{G. Jennings} [Adv. Math. 79, No.~1, 43--103 (1990; Zbl 0721.53033)] for linear Hamiltonian torus actions. Finally, by BFV-machinery, it follows that reduced spaces of such actions admit continuous star products.
