Projectively equivariant quantization for differential operators acting on forms (Q703017)

This paper is a contribution to the study of equivariant quantization [\textit{P. B. A. Lecomte} and \textit{V. Y. Ovsienko}, Lett. Math. Phys. 49, No. 3, 173--196 (1999; Zbl 0989.17015)]. The author shows the existence of a natural projectively equivariant quantization map depending on a linear torsion-free connection for the space \(D_p(M)\) of differential operators mapping \(p\)-forms into functions on an arbitrary manifold \(M\). Over \(\mathbb{R}^m\) this implies the existence of an \(sl(m+1)\)-equivariant quantization for the space \(D({\mathbb R}^m)\) and so this generalizes a result of [\textit{F. Boniver} et al., Lett. Math. Phys. 62, No. 3, 219--232 (2002; Zbl 1035.17034)].
