Almost-Kähler deformation quantization. (Q5953686)

The authors construct a natural deformation quantization on an arbitrary almost-Kähler manifold. For this construction they use the natural affine connection introduced by Yano, which respects the almost-Kähler structure. This connection has a nontrivial torsion whenever the almost structure is nonintegrable. The authors generalize Fedosov's construction to the case of affine connection with torsion and obtain a star product on an arbitrary almost-Kähler manifold. For Kähler manifolds this star product coincides with a Fedosov star product of the Wick type. They also calculate the crucial part of the characteristic class of this star product.
