A covariant Poisson deformation quantization with separation of variables up to the third order (Q1868226)

Let \(M\) be a Kähler manifold with the Kähler form \(\omega \). Its inverse \(\eta \) is a Poisson bivector field of \(( 1,1) \)-type w.r.t. the complex structure and defines a Poisson bracket \(\{,\}\) on \(M\). Denote by \(C^{\infty }( M) [[v]]\) the space of formal series in \(v\) with coefficients from \(C^{\infty }( M) \). Recall that a \textit{deformation quantization} on \(M\) is an associative algebra structure on \(C^{\infty }( M) [[v]]\) given for \(f,g\in C^{\infty }( M) \) by the formula \(f\ast g=\sum_{r=0}^{\infty }v^{r}C_{r}( f,g) \), where \(C_{r},r\geq 0\) are bidifferential operators on \(M\) with \(C_{0}( f,g) =fg\) and \(C_{1}( f,g) -C_{1}( g,f) =i\{f,g\}\). In this paper, a simple formula for the operator \(C_{3}\) is obtained in the case of deformation quantization with separation of variables. Unlike \(C_{1}\) and \(C_{2}\) this operator cannot be expressed only in terms of the Kähler-Poisson tensor. So, this operator is modified in order to obtain a covariant deformation quantization with separation of variables up to the third order which is expressed only in terms of the Poisson tensor and thus can be defined on an arbitrary complex manifold endowed with a Poisson bivector field of \(( 1,1) \)-type.
