Abstract: In the framework of deformation quantization we define formal KMS states on the deformed algebra of power series of functions with compact support in phase space as Clambda-linear functionals obeying a formal variant of the usual KMS condition known in the theory of C^*-algebras. We show that for each temperature KMS states always exist and are up to a normalization equal to the trace of the argument multiplied by a formal analogue of the usual Boltzmann factor, a certain formal star exponential.


The authors define formal KMS states on a deformed algebra of power series of functions with compact support in phase space as \(C\lambda\)-linear functionals obeying a formal variant of the usual KMS conditions known in the theory of \(C^*\)-algebras within the framework of deformation quantization. Existence and uniqueness of KMS states for any star product on a connected symplectic manifold for any inverse temperature \(\beta\) with respect to the time development induced by an arbitrary Hamiltonian vector field has been proven. It is shown that no KMS states for \(\beta\neq 0\) exist for symplectic but non-Hamiltonian vector fields.
