Quantization of the \(G\)-connections via the tangent groupoid (Q2855838)

Let \(G\) be a compact Lie group and \(\Sigma \) a compact oriented manifold. The space of \(G\)-connections is described using the tangent grupoid \(\mathcal{T}\Sigma \). By adding a Riemannian metric on \(\Sigma \) the \(G\)-connections are obtained as integral kernels and the tetrads are formulated as Dirac-type operators. It is proved that such a procedure is in fact a quantization by remarking that the classical limit of their quantum interaction, the commutator, gives back their classical interaction, namely the Poisson bracket.
