I One mathematical aspect of quantization is thepassage from thecommutative worldto thenon-commutative world.
I one waya deformation quantization(also calledstar product)
I can only be done on the level offormal power seriesover the algebra of functions
OUTLINE
I give an overview of somenaturally defined star productsin the case that our “phase-space manifold” is a (compact)
Kähler manifold
I here we have additionalcomplex structureand search for star productsrespectingit
I yield star products ofseparation of variables type
(Karabegov) resp. Wick or anti-Wick type(Bordemann and Waldmann)
I both constructions are quite different, but there is a1:1 correspondence(Neumaier)
I single outcertainnaturallygiven ones.
I restrict toquantizableKähler manifolds
I Berezin-Toeplitzstar product,Berezintransform,Berezin starproduct
I a side result: star product ofgeometric quantization I all of the above areequivalent star product, but not the
same
I giveDeligne-Fedosov classandKarabegov forms
GEOMETRIC SET-UP
I (M, ω)apseudo-Kählermanifold.
M a complex manifold, and ω, a non-degenerate closed (1, 1)-form
I if ω is apositive formthen (M, ω) is a honestKähler manifold
I C∞(M)the algebra of complex-valued differentiable functions with associative product given bypoint-wise multiplication
I define thePoisson bracket
{ f , g } := ω(Xf,Xg) ω(Xf, ·) =df (·)
STAR PRODUCT
star product for M is anassociative product?on A := C∞(M)[[ν]], such 1. f ? g = f · g mod ν, 2. (f ? g − g ? f ) /ν = −i{f , g} mod ν. Also f ? g = ∞ X k =0 νkCk(f , g), Ck(f , g) ∈ C∞(M),
differential(orlocal) ifCk( , )are bidifferential operators.
Equivalence of star products
?and ?0 (the same Poisson structure) are equivalent means there exists
a formal series of linear operators
B = ∞ X i=0 Biνi, Bi :C∞(M) → C∞(M), with B0=id and B(f ) ?0B(g) = B(f ? g).
to every equivalence class of a differential star product one assigns itsDeligne-Fedosov class
cl(?) ∈ 1 i( 1 ν[ω] + H 2 dR(M, C)[[ν]]). gives a1:1 correspondence

ARIABLES TYPEI pseudo-Kählercase: we look for star products adapted to the complex structure
I separation of variables type(Karabegov)
I Wick and anti-Wick type(Bordemann - Waldmann)
I Karabegov convention: of separation of variables type if in Ck(., .)for k ≥ 1 the first argument differentiated in
anti-holomorphic and the second argument in holomorphic directions.
I we call this conventionseparation of variables (anti-Wick) typeand call a star product ofseparation of variables (Wick) typeif the role of the variables is switched
