Deformation Quantization and the Baum–Connes Conjecture
Alternative titles of this paper would have been “Index theory without index” or “The Baum–Connes conjecture without Baum.” In 1989, Rieffel introduced an analytic version of deformation quantization based on the use of continuous fields ofC∗-algebras. We review how a wide variety of examples of such quantizations can be understood on the basis of a single lemma involving amenable groupoids. Th...
متن کاملDeformation Quantization
1. INTRODUCTION Quantum mechanics is often distinguished from classical mechanics by a statement to the effect that the observables in quantum mechanics, unlike those in classical mechanics, do not commute with one another. Yet classical mechanics is meant to give a description (with less precision) of the same physical world as is described by quantum mechanics. One mathematical transcription ...
متن کاملDeformation Quantization and Reduction
This note is an overview of the Poisson sigma model (PSM) and its applications in deformation quantization. Reduction of coisotropic and prePoisson submanifolds, their appearance as branes of the PSM, quantization in terms of L∞and A∞-algebras, and bimodule structures are recalled. As an application, an “almost” functorial quantization of Poisson maps is presented if no anomalies occur. This le...
متن کاملDeformation Quantization, Quantization, and the Klein-Gordon Equation
The aim of this proceeding is to give a basic introduction to Deformation Quantization (DQ) to physicists. We compare DQ to canonical quantization and path integral methods. It is described how certain issues such as the roles of associativity, covariance, dynamics, and operator orderings are understood in the context of DQ. Convergence issues in DQ are mentioned. Additionally, we formulate the...
متن کاملThe Correspondence between Geometric Quantization and Formal Deformation Quantization
Using the classification of formal deformation quantizations, and the formal, algebraic index theorem, I give a simple proof as to which formal deformation quantization (modulo isomorphism) is derived from a given geometric quantization.
