On the quantization of Poisson brackets

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we introduce two classes of Poisson brackets on algebras (or on sheaves of algebras). We call them locally free and nonsingular Poisson brackets. Using the Fedosov's method we prove that any locally free nonsingular Poisson bracket can be quantized. In particular, it follows from this that all Poisson brackets on an arbitrary field of characteristic zero can be quantized. The well known theorem about the quantization of nondegenerate Poisson brackets on smooth manifolds follows from the main result of this paper as well.


In this paper, which appeared considerably earlier than the famous preprint of \textit{M. Kontsevich} ``Formal quantization of Poisson manifolds, the author introduces a rather wide class of Poisson brackets which can be quantized by an algebraic version of \textit{B. V. Fedosov}'s method [Funct. Anal. Appl. 25, 184-194 (1991; Zbl 0737.47042)]. An interesting, purely algebraic consequence of these results is that any Poisson bracket on a field of zero characteristic can be quantized.
