چکیده
A perturbative formulation of algebraic field theory is presented, both for the classical and for the quantum case, and it is shown that the relation between them may be understood in terms of deformation quantization.

The Hopf Algebra of Renormalization, Normal Coordinates and Kontsevich Deformation Quantization
Using normal coordinates in a Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt basis for the Hopf algebra of renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory, we investigate the relation between the twisted antipode axiom in that formalism, the Birkhoff algebraic decomposition and the universal formula of Kontsevich for quantum deformation.

متن کاملNonperturbative effects in deformation quantization
The Cattaneo-Felder path integral form of the perturbative Kontsevich deformation quantization formula is used to explicitly demonstrate the existence of nonperturbative corrections to näıve deformation quantization. The physical context of the formal problem of deformation quantization is the original one set out by Dirac [1] in making the substitution
متن کاملA Path Integral Approach to the Kontsevich Quantization Formula
We give a quantum field theory interpretation of Kontsevich's deformation quantization formula for Poisson manifolds. We show that it is given by the perturbative expansion of the path integral of a simple topological bosonic open string theory. Its Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization yields a superconformal field theory. The associativity of the star product, and more generally the formality conje...
متن کاملPoisson Sigma Models and Deformation Quantization
This is a review aimed at a physics audience on the relation between Poisson sigma models on surfaces with boundary and deformation quantization. These models are topological open string theories. In the classical Hamiltonian approach, we describe the reduced phase space and its structures (symplectic groupoid), explaining in particular the classical origin of the non-commutativity of the strin...
متن کاملInfinite-dimensional Geometry of the Universal Deformation of the Complex Disk
The universal deformation of the complex disk is studied from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional geometry. The structure of a subsymmetric space on the universal deformation is described. The foliation of the universal deformation by subsymmetry mirrors is shown to determine a real polarization. The subject of this paper may be of interest to specialists in algebraic geometry and representat...
