The Weyl quantization and the quantum group quantization of the moduli space of flat \(SU(2)\)-connections on the torus are the same (Q1871727)

Quantization is a procedure for replacing functions on the phase space of a physical system by linear operators. In this paper, by comparing the matrices of the operators associated through the two quantizations to cosine functions, the authors prove that, for the moduli space of flat SU(2)-connections on the 2-dimensional torus, the Weyl quantization and the quantization performed using the quantum group of \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})\) are the same. They also discuss the \(\ast\)-product of the Weyl quantization and show that it satisfies the product-to-sum formula for noncommutative cosines on the noncommutative torus.
