چکیده
These notes, based on the mini-course given at the PQR2003 Euroschool held in Brussels in 2003, aim to review Kontsevich’s formality theorem together with his formula for the star product on a given Poisson manifold. A brief introduction to the employed mathematical tools and physical motivations is also given.

Deformation Quantization : an introduction
I shall focus, in this presentation of Deformation Quantization, to some mathematical aspects of the theory of star products. The first lectures will be about the general concept of Deformation Quantisation, with examples, with Fedosov’s construction of a star product on a symplectic manifold and with the classification of star products on a symplectic manifold. We will then introduce the notio...
متن کاملOn the Deformation Quantization of Affine Algebraic Varieties
Since the fundamental work of Bayen et al. [1] in the seventies, a lot of effort has been dedicated to show the existence of deformations of a Poisson manifold. Some landmarks in this way were the proof of the existence of differential star products for symplectic manifolds which was done independently by De Wilde and Lecomte [2] and Fedosov [5], using different constructions. It turned out tha...
متن کامل2 00 1 Poisson bracket , deformed bracket and gauge group actions in Kontsevich deformation quantization
We express the difference between Poisson bracket and deformed bracket for Kontsevich deformation quantization on any Poisson manifold by means of second derivative of the formality quasiisomorphism. The counterpart on star products of the action of formal diffeomorphisms on Poisson formal bivector fields is also investigated.

متن کاملDeformation quantization with traces
In the present paper we prove a statement closely related to the cyclic formality conjecture [Sh]. In particular, we prove that for a volume form Ω and a Poisson bivector field π on Rd such that divΩ π = 0, the Kontsevich star-product [K] with the harmonic angle function is cyclic, i.e. ∫ Rd (f ∗ g) · h · Ω = ∫ Rd (g ∗ h) · f · Ω for any three functions f, g, h on Rd (for which the integrals ma...
