Abstract: We study the Cahen-Gutt moment map on the space of symplectic connections of a symplectic manifold. On a K"ahler manifold, we define a Calabi-type functional mathscrF on the space of K"ahler metrics in a given K"ahler class. We study the zeroes of mathscrF. Given a zero of mathscrF with non-negative Ricci tensor, we show the space of zeroes around the given one has the structure of a finite dimensional embedded submanifold. We give a new motivation, coming from deformation quantisation, for the study of moment maps on infinite dimensional spaces. More precisely, we establish a strong link between trace densities for star products (obtained from Fedosov's type methods) and moment map geometry on infinite dimensional spaces. As a consequence, we provide, on certain K"ahler manifolds, a geometric characterization of a space of Fedosov's star products that are closed up to order 3 in u.
