Existence of Natural and Projectively Equivariant Quantizations
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the existence of natural and projectively equivariant quantizations for differential operators acting between order 1 vector bundles over a smooth manifold M . To that aim, we make use of the Thomas-Whitehead approach of projective structures and construct a Casimir operator depending on a projective Cartan connection. We attach a scalar parameter to every space of differential operators, and prove the existence of a quantization except when this parameter belongs to a discrete set of resonant values.

Natural and Projectively Equivariant Quantizations by Means of Cartan Connections
The existence of a natural and projectively equivariant quantization in the sense of Lecomte [20] was proved recently by M. Bordemann [4], using the framework of Thomas-Whitehead connections. We give a new proof of existence using the notion of Cartan projective connections and we obtain an explicit formula in terms of these connections. Our method yields the existence of a projectively equivar...
متن کاملCartan Connections and Natural and Projectively Equivariant Quantizations
In this paper, we analyse the question of existence of a natural and projectively equivariant symbol calculus, using the theory of projective Cartan connections. We establish a close relationship between the existence of such a natural symbol calculus and the existence of an sl(m+1,R)equivariant calculus over R in the sense of [15, 1]. Moreover we show that the formulae that hold in the non-cri...
متن کاملOn Natural and Conformally Equivariant Quantizations
The concept of conformally equivariant quantizations was introduced by Duval, Lecomte and Ovsienko in [8] for manifolds endowed with flat conformal structures. They obtained results of existence and uniqueness (up to normalization) of such a quantization procedure. A natural generalization of this concept is to seek for a quantization procedure, over a manifold M , that depends on a pseudo-Riem...
متن کاملProjectively equivariant quantization and symbol calculus: noncommutative hypergeometric functions
We extend projectively equivariant quantization and symbol calculus to symbols of pseudo-differential operators. An explicit expression in terms of hypergeometric functions with noncommutative arguments is given. Some examples are worked out, one of them yielding a quantum length element on S3.
متن کاملGeometric Quantization and No Go Theorems
A geometric quantization of a Kähler manifold, viewed as a symplectic manifold, depends on the complex structure compatible with the symplectic form. The quantizations form a vector bundle over the space of such complex structures. Having a canonical quantization would amount to finding a natural (projectively) flat connection on this vector bundle. We prove that for a broad class of manifolds,...
