The structure of Fedosov supermanifolds (Q2270502)

This paper studies the Fedosov structure which can be defined on a supermanifold \(M\). Let us recall that Fedosov manifolds first appeared in physics in the theory of deformation quantization. In fact, Fedosov proved the existence of a star-product on any symplectic manifold using a symplectic connection. This method actually provides a flat connection \(D\) on \(M\), which induces a star-product on \(C(M)\). In recent works, the method has been generalized to superspace and a notion of Fedosov supermanifold has been introduced. Here, the authors determine the structure of odd and even Fedosov supermanifolds. The results given here are free of coordinates, and can be useful in geometry.
