A Groupoid Approach to Quantization
Many interesting C∗-algebras can be viewed as quantizations of Poisson manifolds. I propose that a Poisson manifold may be quantized by a twisted polarized convolution C∗-algebra of a symplectic groupoid. Toward this end, I define polarizations for Lie groupoids and sketch the construction of this algebra. A large number of examples show that this idea unifies previous geometric constructions, ...
متن کاملQuantization and the Tangent Groupoid *
This is a survey of the relationship between C *-algebraic deformation quan-tization and the tangent groupoid in noncommutative geometry, emphasizing the role of index theory. We first explain how C *-algebraic versions of deformation quantization are related to the bivariant E-theory of Connes and Higson. With this background, we review how Weyl–Moyal quantization may be described using the ta...
متن کاملLie Groupoid C∗-Algebras and Weyl Quantization
A strict quantization of a Poisson manifold P on a subset I ⊆ R containing 0 as an accumulation point is defined as a continuous field of C∗-algebras {Ah̄}h̄∈I , with A0 = C0(P ), a dense subalgebra Ã0 of C0(P ) on which the Poisson bracket is defined, and a set of continuous cross-sections {Q(f )} f∈Ã0 for which Q0(f ) = f . Here Qh̄(f ∗) = Qh̄(f )∗ for all h̄ ∈ I , whereas for h̄ → 0 one requires t...
متن کاملGROUPOID ASSOCIATED TO A SMOOTH MANIFOLD
In this paper, we introduce the structure of a groupoid associated to a vector field on a smooth manifold. We show that in the case of the $1$-dimensional manifolds, our groupoid has a smooth structure such that makes it into a Lie groupoid. Using this approach, we associated to every vector field an equivalence relation on the Lie algebra of all vector fields on the smooth...
متن کاملA Groupoid Approach to Discrete Inverse Semigroup Algebras
Let K be a commutative ring with unit and S an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra KS can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal étale groupoid associated to S by Paterson. This result is a simultaneous generalization of the author’s earlier work on finite inverse semigroups and Paterson’s theorem for the universal C-algebra. It provides a convenie...
