Bimodule deformations, Picard groups and contravariant connections

چکیده
We study deformations of invertible bimodules and the behavior of Picard groups under deformation quantization. While K0-groups are known to be stable under formal deformations of algebras, Picard groups may change drastically. We identify the semiclassical limit of bimodule deformations as contravariant connections and study the associated deformation quantization problem. Our main focus is on formal deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds by star products.

Self-dual and quasi self-dual algebras
A self-dual algebra is an associative or Lie algebra A together with an A bimodule isomorphism A → A∨op, where A∨ = Homk(A, k), the dual bimodule to A (considered as an A bimodule), and A∨op is the the same underlying k module as A∨ but is an A bimodule whose left operation by an element a ∈ A is the same as the right operation by a on A∨, and similarly with left and right interchanged. This in...
متن کاملExistence of the AH + 2 subfactor
We give two di erent proofs of the existence of the AH +2 subfactor, which is a 3-supertransitive self-dual subfactor with index 9+ √ 17 2 . The rst proof is a direct construction using connections on graphs and intertwiner calculus for bimodule categories. The second proof is indirect, and deduces the existence of AH + 2 from a recent alternative construction of the Asaeda-Haagerup subfactor a...
متن کاملOn Contravariant Product Conjugate Connections
Invariance properties for the covariant and contravariant connections on a Riemannian manifold with respect to an almost product structure are stated. Restricting to a distribution of the contravariant connections is also discussed. The particular case of the conjugate connection is investigated and properties of the extended structural and virtual tensors for the contravariant connections are ...
متن کاملOn a Finitistic Cotilting-type Duality
Let R and S be arbitrary associative rings. Given a bimodule RWS , we denote by ∆? and Γ? the functors Hom?(−, W ) and Ext?(−, W ), where ? = R or S. We say that RWS is a finitistic weakly cotilting bimodule (briefly FWC) if for each module M cogenerated by W , finitely generated or homomorphic image of a finite direct sum of copies of W , ΓM = 0 = Ext(M, W ). We are able to describe, on a larg...
متن کاملAlgebraic and Geometric Isomonodromic Deformations
Using the Gauss-Manin connection (Picard-Fuchs differential equation) and a result of Malgrange, a special class of algebraic solutions to isomonodromic deformation equations, the geometric isomonodromic deformations, is defined from “families of families” of algebraic varieties. Geometric isomonodromic deformations arise naturally from combinatorial strata in the moduli spaces of elliptic surf...
