Advances in quantization: quantum tensors, explicit star-products, and restriction to irreducible leaves (Q1295465)

This is a very nice review on the use of the Weyl star product over Poisson manifolds. In the viewpoint of the author, ``the classical commutative algebra of functions over the manifold was first filled by a noncommutative spirit via the Poisson brackets\dots what we now call ``quantization'' is a noncommutative and associative product \(*\) given on a set of functions over a manifold. A manifold \({\mathcal M}\) with such an associative \(*\)-product is called a quantum manifold. In this paper, the author describes the following constructions: a quantum version of the classical Schouten-Lichnerowicz tensor complex; a nonlinear analog of the Weyl \(*\)-product; an explicit construction of the Wick star-product over Kähler manifolds; a quantum restriction of the star product onto irreducible leaves; and a quantum restriction of the quantum reduction mappings''.
