Quantization of Forms on the Cotangent Bundle

Theodore Voronov (UMIST)


theodore.voronov@umist.ac.uk

Similar to the quantization of functions of the space of the cotangent bundle for a Riemannian manifold, it is possible to construct deformation quantization of differential forms. In particular, we get Poisson brackets for those forms. In this construction forms on T*M are symbols of (pseudo)differential operators acting on forms on M. The talk will include some introductory material concerning quantization and super methods.
