the intensional qualification ofquantificationIntensional qualification of quantification refers to the idea that the meaning of a quantified statement depends not only on the objects being quantified but also on the properties or qualities associated with those objects. In other words, the meaning of a statement like "all dogs have fur" is not just a matter of counting all the dogs and observing their fur, but also involves an understanding of what it means to be a dog and what it means to have fur.One example of intensional qualification in action can be seen in the statement "all bachelors are unmarried." The meaning of this statement depends not just on the fact that there are a certain number of unmarried men in the world, but also on our understanding of what it means to be a bachelor. If we were to define bachelor as "a man who has never been married and has no children," then the statement "all bachelors are unmarried" would be tautological and unsurprising. But if we were to define bachelor in adifferent way, such as "a man who is over 30 and has never been married," then the statement would be false, since there may well be unmarried men over 30 who are not considered bachelors.Intensional qualification can also come into play in more complex statements. For example, consider the statement "some cats are not black." The truth of this statement depends not just on the existence of non-black cats, but alsoon our understanding of what it means to be a cat and what it means to be black. If we were to define cat as "a small,furry animal that meows," and black as "a color associated with darkness," then the statement would be true, since there are certainly cats that are not black. But if we define cat more narrowly as "a member of the Felidae family," and black more broadly as "any color that is not white," then the statement might be false, as all members of the Felidae family are typically black, brown, or orange.Overall, intensional qualification of quantification highlights the importance of context and interpretation in understanding the true meaning of statements involving quantifiers. By considering not just the objects being quantified, but also the qualities or properties associated with those objects, we can arrive at a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the world around us.。
反量化英语Quantification has become an increasingly prevalent aspect of modern life, with data and metrics being used to measure and evaluate various facets of our existence. While this trend has brought about numerous benefits, it has also given rise to a growing concern regarding the potential drawbacks of an over-reliance on quantification. In this essay, we will explore the concept of "anti-quantification" and examine the arguments for a more balanced approach to the role of data and metrics in our lives.One of the primary arguments against the excessive use of quantification is the inherent reductionism inherent in the process. By reducing complex phenomena to numerical values, we risk oversimplifying the nuances and contextual factors that contribute to the richness and depth of human experience. This can lead to a distorted understanding of reality, where the quantifiable aspects are prioritized at the expense of the qualitative and intangible elements that are equally, if not more, important.Moreover, the reliance on quantification can foster a culture of obsession with metrics and a fixation on numerical targets, often at the expense of deeper, more meaningful goals. This can manifest invarious domains, from education, where test scores become the primary measure of success, to healthcare, where patient outcomes are reduced to a series of statistics. In such scenarios, the true purpose of these institutions – to nurture well-rounded individuals and promote holistic well-being – can become obscured.Another concern with the overuse of quantification is the potential for unintended consequences and the distortion of behavior. When individuals and organizations are evaluated primarily based on numerical targets, they may be tempted to manipulate or game the system in order to achieve those targets, even if it means sacrificing integrity or ethical considerations. This can lead to a culture of mistrust, where the reliability and validity of the data become increasingly questionable.Furthermore, the reliance on quantification can contribute to a sense of dehumanization, where individuals are reduced to mere data points, stripped of their unique experiences, emotions, and personal narratives. This can have profound implications for our social interactions, decision-making processes, and the way we perceive and value one another.In response to these concerns, the concept of "anti-quantification" advocates for a more balanced and nuanced approach to the use of data and metrics. This perspective recognizes the value ofquantification in certain contexts, such as scientific research, policy-making, and decision-support systems, but also acknowledges the need to temper its application with a deeper understanding of the qualitative and contextual factors that shape human experiences and societal dynamics.At the heart of the anti-quantification movement is a call for a greater emphasis on the subjective, the experiential, and the intangible aspects of life. This includes a focus on narrative, storytelling, and the exploration of the human condition through the arts, humanities, and social sciences. By embracing these alternative modes of understanding, we can cultivate a richer, more nuanced perspective on the world around us, one that acknowledges the inherent complexity and diversity of human experiences.Moreover, the anti-quantification approach encourages a more critical and reflective stance towards the use of data and metrics. This involves questioning the underlying assumptions, methodologies, and potential biases that shape the collection and interpretation of data, as well as a willingness to challenge the dominant narratives and preconceptions that often drive the quantification agenda.In practical terms, the implementation of anti-quantification principles could involve a range of strategies, such as the incorporation of qualitative assessments alongside quantitativemeasures, the emphasis on contextual factors in decision-making processes, and the fostering of interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge the divide between the quantitative and the qualitative.Ultimately, the call for anti-quantification is not a rejection of the value of data and metrics, but rather a recognition of the need to strike a balance between the quantifiable and the intangible, the objective and the subjective, in order to create a more holistic and meaningful understanding of the human experience. By embracing this approach, we can work towards a future where the richness and complexity of our lives are not reduced to mere numbers, but instead celebrated and understood in all their nuanced glory.。

-groups.This answers a question of Rieffel negatively.1.Introduction In the passage from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics,one replaces smooth functions on symplectic manifolds (more generally,Poisson manifolds)by operators on Hilbert spaces,and replaces the Poisson bracket of smooth functions by commutators of operators.Thinking of classical mechanics as limits of quantum mechanics,one requires that the Poisson brackets becomes limits of commutators.There is an algebraic way of studying such process using formal power series,called deformation quantization [1,13].In order to study it in a stricter way,Rieffel introduced [6]strict deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds,within the framework of C ∗-algebras.He showed that noncommutative tori arise naturally as strict deformation quantizations of the ordinary torus in the direction of certain Poisson bracket.After that,a lot of interesting examples of strict deformation quantizations have been constructed.See [8,9]and the references therein.We refer the reader to [2,Sections 10.1–10.3]for the basic information about continuous fields of C ∗-algebras.Recall the definition of strict deformation quanti-zation [6,9]:Definition 1.1.[9,Definition 1]Let M be a Poisson manifold,and let C ∞(M )be the algebra of C -valued continuous functions on M vanishing at ∞.By a strict deformation quantization of M we mean a dense ∗-subalgebra A of C ∞(M )closed under the Poisson bracket,together with a continuous field of C ∗-algebras A over a closed subset I of the real line containing 0as a non-isolated point,and linear maps π :A →A for each ∈I ,such that(1)A 0=C ∞(M )and π0is the canonical inclusion of A into C ∞(M ),(2)the section (π (f ))is continuous for every f ∈A ,(3)for all f,g ∈A we havelim →0 [π (f ),π (g )]/(i )−π ({f,g }) =0,(4)π is injective and π (A )is a dense ∗-subalgebra of A for every ∈I .If A ⊇C ∞c (M ),the space of compactly supported C -valued smooth functions on M ,we say that the strict deformation quantization is flabby .2HANFENG LICondition(4)above enables us to define a new∗-algebra structure and a new C∗-norm on A at each by pulling back the∗-algebra structure and norm of π (A)⊆A to A viaπ .Condition(2)means that this deformation of the∗-algebra structure and norm on A is continuous.Given a strict deformation quantization,a natural question is whether the de-formed C∗-algebras A have the same”algebraic topology”,in particular,whether they have isomorphic K-groups.Rieffel’s quantization of Poisson manifolds in-duced from actions of R d[7]and many other examples[5]are known to preserve K-groups.Rieffel showed examples of non-flabby strict deformation quantizations not preserving K-groups,and asked[9,Question18]:Are the K-groups of the de-formed C∗-algebras of anyflabby strict deformation quantization all isomorphic?A nice survey of various positive results on related problems may be found in[10].Shim[11]showed that above question has a negative answer if one allows orb-ifolds.But it is not clear whether one can adapt the method there to get smooth examples.Rieffel also pointed out[9,page321]that in any strict deformation quantization of a non-zero Poisson bracket if one reparametrizes by replacing by 2one obtains a strict deformation quantization of the0Poisson bracket.Thus to answer Rieffel’s question it suffices to consider strict deformation quantizations of the0Poisson bracket.The main purpose of this paper is to answer above question.In Section2we give a general method of constructingflabby strict deformation quantization for the0 Poisson bracket.In particular,we proveTheorem1.2.Let M be a smooth manifold with dim M≥2,equipped with the0 Poisson bracket.If dim M is even(odd,resp.),then for any integers n0≥n1≥0 (n1≥n0≥0resp.)there is aflabby strict deformation quantization{A ,π } ∈I of M over I=[0,1]with A=C∞c(M)such that K i(A )∼=K i(C∞(M))⊕Z n i for all0< ≤1and i=0,1.Theorem1.2is far from being the most general result one can obtain using our construction in Section2.However,it illustrates clearly that a lot of manifolds equipped with the0Poisson bracket haveflabby strict deformation quantizations not preserving K-groups.In order to accommodate some other interesting examples such as Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of K¨a hler manifolds,Landsman introduced a weaker notion strict quantization[3,Definition II.1.1.1][9,Definition23].This is defined in a way similar to a strict deformation quantization,but without requiring the condition(4) in Definition1.1.Ifπ is injective for each ∈I we say that the strict quantization is faithful.It is natural to ask for the precise relation between strict quantizations and strict deformation quantizations.Rieffel also raised the question[9,Question 25]:Is there an example of a faithful strict quantization such that it is impossible to restrictπ to a dense∗-subalgebra B⊆A to get a strict deformation quantization of M?Adapting our method in Section2we also give such an example for every manifold M equipped with the0Poisson bracket.In[4]strict quantizations are constructed for every Poisson manifold,and it is impossible to restrict the strict quantizations constructed there to dense∗-subalgebras to get strict deformation quantizations unless the Poisson bracket is0[4,Corollary5.6].Thus we get a complete answer to Rieffel’s question.FLABBY STRICT DEFORMATION QUANTIZATIONS AND K-GROUPS3 Acknowledgments.I am grateful to Marc Rieffel for many helpful discussions and suggestions,and I also thank the referee for pointing out the reference[10].2.Strict deformation quantizations for the0Poisson bracketWe start with a general method of deforming a C∗-algebra.Let A be a C∗-algebra and A⊆A a dense∗-subalgebra.Let I(A)={b∈M(A):bA,Ab⊆A} be the idealizer of A in the multiplier algebra M(A)of A.Then I(A)is a∗-algebra containing A as an ideal,and for every b∈(I(A))sa clearly bAb is a∗-subalgebra of A.If furthermore the multiplication by b is injective on A,that is, b∈Ann:={b′∈M(A):b′a=0for some0=a∈A},then we can pull back the multiplication and norm on bAb to define a new multiplication×b and a new norm · b on A via the bijection A→bAb.Explicitly,a×b a′=ab2a′anda b= bab .The completion of(A,×b, · b)is isomorphic tob x Ab x at x∈X,as a subfield of the trivial continuousfield of C∗-algebras over X withfibres A,and it contains(b x ab x) as a continuous section for every a∈A.Now we specialize to the commutative case.Let M be a smooth manifold,and let A=C∞(M),A=C∞c(M).Then M(A)is the space C b(M)consisting of all C-valued bounded continuous functions on M,and the strict topology on C b(M)is determined by uniform convergence on every compact subset of M.The idealizer I(A)is the space C∞b(M)consisting of all C-valued bounded smooth functions on M.Given b∈I(A),it is not in Ann exactly if the zero set Z b of b is nowhere dense.Clearly C∞(M\Z b)⊇bAb⊇C∞c(M\Z b),and hence4HANFENG LI158]for every0< ≤1and i=0,1.Thus when n is odd K i(A )∼=K i(C∞(R n)) for all0< ≤1and i=0,1(see for instance[12,page123]for the K-groups of R n and S n).When n is even,K1(A )∼=K1(C∞(R n))for all0< ≤1.When M is compact,in Proposition2.1the element b has to be invertible in C(M)for small and consequently A =C(M).Thus in order to construct strict deformation quantizations for compact M such that the K-groups of A are not isomorphic to those of C(M)for any =0,we have to modify the construction in Proposition2.1.Notice that if we setπ′ (a+λ)=b ab +λfor a∈C∞c(R n),λ∈C in Example2.2,then we get a strict deformation quantization of S n equipped with the0Poisson bracket.This leads to Proposition2.4below.Notation2.3.We denote by F m the space of smooth real-valued functions F on R m such that F is equal to1outside a compact subset of R m and the zero set Z F of F is nowhere dense.Proposition2.4.Let M be a smooth manifold equipped with the0Poisson bracket. Let U be an open subset of M with a diffeomorphismϕ:U→R m.For any F∈F m there is aflabby strict deformation quantization{A ,π } ∈I of M over I=[0,1]with A=C∞c(M)such that A ∼=C∞(M/Y)for every0< ≤1,where Y=ϕ−1(Z F∪{0}).Proof.Set F0=1and F (x)=F(x/ )for all0< ≤1and x∈R m.Then F ∈F m for each ∈I and we can extend the pull-back F ◦ϕ∈C∞(U)to a smooth function b on M by setting it to be1outside U.Clearly b A′b is a∗-subalgebra of A′.Notice that there is a compact set W⊂U such that b =1on M\W for all ∈I,and W containsϕ−1(0).Take an H∈(C∞c(M))R such that H=1 on W.Denote by A′the space of functions in C∞c(M)vanishing atϕ−1(0).Then C∞c(M)=A′⊕C H as complex vector spaces,and H2−H=b (H2−H)b ∈b A′b . It is easy to see that b A′b +C H is a∗-subalgebra of C∞c(M)and the linear map π :C∞c(M)→b A′b +C H defined byπ (a′+λH)=b a′b +λH for a′∈A′andλ∈C is bijective.For each a′∈A′clearly the map →b a′b ∈C∞(M)is continuous on I=[0,1].Thus for each a∈A=C∞c(M),(π (a))is a continuous section in the continuous subfield{A =b A′b +C H=b A′b +C H∼=C∞(M/Y)as desired.Next we describe a case in which we can relate the K-groups of C∞(M/Y)to those of C∞(M)easily:Lemma 2.5.Let D be the subset of R m consisting of points(x1,···,x m)with 0<x1,···,x m<1.Let M,ϕ,F and Y be as in Proposition2.4.Suppose that ∂D⊆Z F⊆¯D.ThenK i(C∞(M\Y))∼=K i(C∞(M))⊕K i(C∞(D\Z F))for i=0,1.FLABBY STRICT DEFORMATION QUANTIZATIONS AND K-GROUPS5 Proof.Letφ:M→M/Y be the quotient map,and let W=φ(M\ϕ−1(D)).Then W is a closed subset of M/Y,and the complement is homeomorphic to D\Z F. Define a mapψ:M/Y→W as the identity map on W andψ((M/F)\W)=φ(Y). Thenψis continuous and proper,i.e.the inverse image of every compact subset of W is compact.Thus the exact sequence0→C∞(D\Z F)→C∞(M/Y)→C∞(W)→0splits.Therefore K i(C∞(M\Y))∼=K i(C∞(W))⊕K i(C∞(D\Z F))for i=0,1. Now Lemma2.5follows from the fact that W is homeomorphic to M.Notice that if a compact set Z⊆R m is the zero set of some non-negative f∈C∞(M),then it is also the zero set of some F∈F m(for instance,take a non-negative g∈C∞c(M)with g|Z=1and set F(x)=f(x)6HANFENG LI[5]G.Nagy,Deformation quantization and K-theory.In:Perspectives on Quantization,(SouthHadley,MA,1996),111–134,Contemp.Math.,214,Amer.Math.Soc.,Providence,RI,1998.[6]M.A.Rieffel,Deformation quantization of Heisenberg m.Math.Phys.122(1989),no.4,531–562.[7]M.A.Rieffel,K-groups of C∗-algebras deformed by actions of R d.J.Funct.Anal.116(1993),no.1,199–214.[8]M.A.Rieffel,Quantization and C∗-algebras.In:C∗-algebras:1943-1993(San Antonio,TX,1993),66–97,Contemp.Math.,167,Amer.Math.Soc.,Providence,RI,1994.[9]M.

of this paper is to address Question 20of Rieffel’s list:“...in what ways can a suitable Riemannian metric on a manifold M be used to obtain a strict deformation quantization of T ∗M ?”We do that by giving proofs for (a slightly improved variant of)a construction sketched by Connes in Section II.5of his book [2]on noncommutative geometry,and elsewhere [3].The paper can be considered as an introduction to the subject of quantization from Connes’point of view and thus serves too a pedagogical purpose.Rieffel’s requirements are stronger that those of formal deformation theory,ex-tant for any Poisson manifold[4].To our mind,however,the fact that T∗M,for M Riemannian,possesses a strict quantization,was indeed proved by Lands-man in the path-breaking paper[5].Nevertheless,the noncommutative geo-metry approach presents several advantages,not least that the C∗-theoretical aspects come in naturally.The procedure was suggested by Landsman himself, even before[2]was in print,at the end of his paper.For the sake of simplicity, we deal here with the nonequivariant case only.The plan of the article is as follows.In thisfirst Section,after introducing groupoids and the tangent groupoid construction,we give an elementary dis-cussion of Connes’recipe for quantization.Wefind the intersection,for the case M=R n,of the family of what could be termed“Connes’quantization rules”with the ordinary quantum-mechanical ordering prescriptions.Groupoids are here regarded set-theoretically,questions of smoothness being deferred to Sec-tion2.We show that Moyal’s quantization rule belongs to the collection of Connes’quantization rules and in fact is singled out by natural conditions in strict deformation theory.In Section2we spell out our variant of Connes’tangent groupoid construction in full detail.The heart of the matter is the continuity of the groupoid product, for which we give two different proofs.In Section3,by means of the mathematical apparatus of Section2,we restate Landsman’s partial answer to Rieffel’s question.In particular,we rework the existence proof for a strict quantization of the Moyal type(in the sense of being both real and tracial)on Riemannian manifolds.Moreover,using a strong form of the tubular neighbourhood theorem,we show that there exists what Rieffel calls aflabby quantization[1].The paper concludes with a discussion on the C∗-algebraic aspect of the tangent groupoid construction and its relation to the index theorem.1.2Basic facts on groupoidsThe most economical way to think of a groupoid is as a pair of sets G0⊂G, and to regard elements of G as arrows and elements of G0as nodes.Definition1A groupoid G⇉G0is a small category in which every mor-phism has an inverse.Its set of objects is G0,its set of morphisms is G.A group is of course a groupoid with a single object.The gist of the definition is conveyed by the following example.1.2.0.1Partial isometries Consider a complex Hilbert space H.The col-lection of unitary arrows between closed subspaces of H obviously defines a groupoid,for which G is the set of partial isometries{w∈L(H):ww∗w=w} and G0is the set of orthogonal projectors in L(H).Recall that,given w,we can writeH=ker w⊕im w∗=ker w∗⊕im w.Hence w∗w is the orthogonal projector with range im w∗,while ww∗is the orthogonal projector with range im w;of course,w∗is the inverse of w.We naturally identify two maps r,s(respectively“range”and“source”)from G to G0:r(w):=ww∗and s(w):=w∗w.Also,it is natural to considerG(2):={(u,v)∈G×G:u∗u=vv∗}.This defining equation is a sufficient condition for the operator product uv to be a partial isometry,as follows from the simple calculationuv(uv)∗uv=uvv∗u∗uv=uvv∗v=uv.The example motivates a more cumbersome restatement,that includes all the practical elements of the definition.Definition2A groupoid G⇉G0consists of:a set G,a set G0of“units”with an inclusion G0֒→G,two maps r,s:G→G0,and a composition law G(2)→G with domainG(2):={(g,h):s(g)=r(h)}⊆G×G,subject to the following rules:(1)if g∈G0then r(g)=s(g)=g;(2)r(g)g=g=gs(g);(3)each g∈G has an“inverse”g−1,satisfying gg−1=r(g)and g−1g=s(g);(4)r(gh)=r(g)and s(gh)=s(h)if(g,h)∈G(2);(5)(gh)k=g(hk)if(g,h)∈G(2)and(gh,k)∈G(2).The examples of groupoids we shall use have a differential geometricflavour instead.1.2.0.2A vector bundle Eπ−→M Here G=E is the total space,G0= M is the base space,r=s=πso that G(2)= x∈M E x×E x(the total space of the Whitney sum E⊕E),and the composition law isfibrewise addition.1.2.0.3The double groupoid of a set Given a set M,take G=M×M and G0=M,included in M×M as the diagonal subset∆(M):={(x,x): x∈M}.Define r(x,y):=x,s(x,y):=y.Then(x,y)−1=(y,x)and the composition law is(x,y)·(y,z)=(x,z).We shall generally call G0the diagonal of G.1.3Connes’tangent groupoidsWe recall some basic concepts of differential geometry,particularly sprays and normal bundles,that we shall later use.Given a symmetric linear connection on a differentiable manifold M,one can define a vectorfieldΓon T M whose value at v∈T M is its horizontal lift to T v(T M).This vectorfield is called the geodesic spray of the connection and its integral curves are just the natural lift of geodesics in M.The geodesic spray is a second-order differential equation vectorfield satisfying an addi-tional condition of degree-one homogeneity which corresponds to the affine reparametrization property of geodesics.More generally,a second-order differ-ential equation vectorfield is said to be a spray if the set of its integral curves is invariant under any affine reparametrization:these curves are called geodesics of the spray.Given a sprayΓ,there is a symmetric connection whose geodesic spray isΓ;and conversely,the connection is fully determined by its geodesic spray,that can also be used to construct the exponential map exp:T x M→M.A Riemannian structure on M determines one symmetric linear connection, the Levi-Civita connection,and consequently a Riemannian spray.Now let Y0be a submanifold of a manifold Y.The normal bundle N YY0toY0in Y is defined as the vector bundle N YY0:=T Y/T Y0,where the notationmeans that its base is Y0and itsfibre is given by the equivalence classes of the elements of the tangent bundle T Y under the relation:X1∼X2,for X1,X2∈T q Y with q∈Y0,if and only if X1=X2+V for some V∈T q Y0.The usual way to work with such a structure is to choose a representative in each class, thereby forming a complementary bundle to T Y0in T Y restricted to Y0.There is no canonical choice for the latter,in general.When a Riemannian metric is provided on Y,there is a natural definition of the complementary bundle as the orthogonal complement of the tangent space T q Y0in T q Y(although other choices may be convenient,even in the Riemannian case).Once we have chosena suitable representative of each class,the bundle N YY0becomes a subbundleof T Y and we can consider the exponential map exp of T Y restricted to N YY0.We recall also that a tubular neighbourhood of Y0in Y is a vector bundle E→Y0,an open neighbourhood Z of its zero section and a diffeomorphism of Z onto an open set(the tube)U⊂Y containing Y0,which restricts over the zero section to the inclusion of Y0in Y[6].We say that the tubular neighbourhood is total when Z=E.The main theorem in this context establishes that,given a spray on Y,one can always construct a tubular neighbourhood by making use of the corresponding exponential map.When the spray is associated to a Riemannian metric,one can always have a total tubular neighbourhood, because a Euclidean bundle is compressible,i.e.,isomorphic as afibre bundle to an open neighbourhood of the zero section:see[6].For suitable 0>0,one can then define the normal cone deformation(a sort of blowup in the differentiable category)of the pair(Y,Y0),denotedM YY0,by gluing together Y×(0, 0]with N YY0as a boundary with the help ofthe tubular neighbourhood construction[7].The construction is particularly interesting when(Y,Y0)is a groupoid,in that it gives a“normal groupoid”with diagonal Y0×[0, 0].We consider a particular case of this construction,the tangent groupoid.Let M now be an orientable Riemannian manifold.Denote by N∆,rather thanN M×MM ,the normal bundle associated to the diagonal embedding∆:M→M×M.We can identify T M⊕T M with the restriction of T(M×M)to ∆(M),and the tangent bundle over M is identified to{(∆(q),X q,X q):(q,X q)∈T M};thereby the normal bundle N∆to M in M×M can a priori be identified with{(∆(q),ϕ1q X q,ϕ2q X q):(q,X q)∈T M},(1) whereϕ1,ϕ2∈End(T M)are any two bundle endomorphisms(i.e.,continuous vector bundle maps from T M into itself)such that the linear mapϕ1q−ϕ2q on T q M is invertible for all q∈M;this we write asϕ1−ϕ2∈GL(T M).We shall assume,for definiteness,that eachϕ1q−ϕ2q is homotopic to the iden-tity:in other words,that there is an isomorphism of oriented vector bundles between T M and N∆.The tangent groupoid G M⇉G0M,according to Connes,is essentially thenormal groupoid M M×MM modulo that isomorphism[2].That is to say,wethink of the disjoint union G M=G1⊎G2of two groupoidsG1:=M×M×(0, 0],G2:=T M,where G1is the disjoint union of copies M×M×{ }of the double groupoidof M,parametrized by0< ≤ 0.The compositions are(x,y, )·(y,z, )=(x,z, ) (q,X1)·(q,X2)=(q,X1+X2)with0< ≤ 0, if X1,X2∈T q M.The topology on G M is such that,if(x n,y n, n)is a sequence of elements of G1with n↓0,then it converges to a tangent vector(q,X)iffx n→q,y n→qandx n−y nLet a(q,p)be a function on T∗R n.Its inverse Fourier transform in the second variable gives us a function on T R n:F−1a(q,X)= R n e i Xp a(q,p)d p.To the function a,Connes’prescription associates then the following family of kernels:k a(x,y; ):=F−1a(Φ−1 (x,y, )).The map a→k a is thus linear.We get the dequantization rule by Fourier inversion:a(q,p)=1∂q +∂∂yK=0,(4)i.e.,K depends only on the combinations x−y and q−1satisfying(4)and(5)is of the formK(q,p,x,y; )=12(x+y))/ )dθ,where f should have no zeros,on account of invertibility;that can be rewritten asK(q,p,x,y; )=1(2π )nR nδ(x−q− ϕ1X)δ(y−x+ X)exp(−i pX)d X.This integral can be rewritten as(2π )−nδ(x−q−ϕ1(x−y))e−i p(x−y)/ , and further transformed into12(x+y)−q+(1which is of the previously given form,withf (θ,τ)=exp(i θ(1(2π )nR n δ(x −q − ϕ1q X )δ(y −x + (ϕ1q −ϕ2q )X )exp(−i pX )d X,we would have had two difficulties:equivariance under translation of the posi-tion would be lost since ϕ1q =ϕ1q ′in general,and equivariance under transla-tion of the momentum would be lost since ϕ1q −ϕ2q =id T q R n in general;this bears on the physical meaning of Connes’limit condition (2).It would be tempting,also in view of (2),to add the time variable to the mathematical apparatus of this paper,in the spirit of Feynman’s formalism,and to study the interchangeability of the limits t ↓0and ↓0.Happily,Moyal’s rule is included among Connes’rules:it follows from themost natural choice ϕ1=12(see the discussion in [12]).We arrive at the following conclusion.Proposition 3Moyal quantization rule is the only real quantization of the Connes type,in the case M =R n .Connes’own choice in [2]is ϕ1=0,ϕ2=−1;this corresponds to the “standard”ordering prescription,in which the quantization of q n p m is Q n P m ;whereas the choice ϕ1=1,ϕ2=0leads to the “antistandard”ordering,in which the quantization of p m q n is P m Q n .Note that all of Connes’prescriptions are tracial.In order to obtain the “normal”and “antinormal”prescriptions of use in field theory,which are real but not tracial,one would have to complexify Connes’construction;we shall not go into that.Following Landsman,we will strengthen the definition of strict quantization in order to remain in the real context (see Section 3).Our elementary discussion in this subsection leads to presume that real strict quantization can be done in the framework of tangent groupoids;this is tantamount to the generalization of the Moyal rule to arbitrary manifolds endowed with sprays.All the pertinent differential geometric constructions for that purpose are taken up in the next section.2The tangent groupoid construction:the Moyal versionDefinition4A smooth groupoid is a groupoid(G,G0)together with differ-entiable structures on G and G0such that the maps r and s are submersions, and the inclusion map G0֒→G is smooth as well as the product G(2)→G.Note the dimension count:if dim G=n,dim G0=m,then dim G(2)=2n−m.The definition of smooth groupoid is taken from[2].Now we establish his Proposition II.5.4,there left unproven by Connes.Proposition5The tangent groupoid G M to a smooth manifold M is a smooth groupoid.2.1G M as a manifold with boundaryThe groupoid G1=M×M×(0, 0],that will be the interior of G M(plus a trivial“outer”boundary,which we neglect to mention in our following argu-ments)is given the usual product manifold structure.To complete the defi-nition of the manifold structure of G,consider the isomorphism from T M toN∆given by(q,X q)→(q,12X q).Consider also the product manifoldT M×[0, 0].We choose a spray on M—this is provided,for instance,by a choice of Riemannian metric on M—and define a mapT M×[0, 0]⊃UΦ−→G M,where U is open in T M×[0, 0]and includes T M×{0},as follows:Φ(q,X q, ):=(exp q( X q/2),exp q(− X q/2), )for >0,andΦ(q,X q,0):=(q,X q)for =0.Here exp denotes the exponential map associated to the spray:we know that, for afixed ,the exponential map defines a diffeomorphism of an open neigh-bourhood V of the zero section of T M onto an open neighbourhood of the diagonal in M×M;and we decide that a point(q,X q, )is in U ifΦ(q,X q, ) is contained in V.Therefore,both the existence and,for a suitable choice of U,the bijectivity of the mapΦfollow from the tubular neighbourhood theorem.As U is anopen(sub)manifold with boundary,we can carry the structure of manifold with boundary to G M,obtaining that T M is the boundary of the groupoid G M in the topology associated to that structure.The diagonal is obviously M×[0, 0].We remind the reader that Connes uses instead the chart given by(q,X q, )→(q,exp q(− X q), )for >0,and(q,X q,0)→(q,X q)for =0.From now on,a particular Riemannian structure is assumed chosen,and when convenient we shall also assume,as we then may,that U is the whole of T M×[0, 0].To continue the proof of smoothness of G M,we need to check that the various mappings have the required smoothness properties.The basic idea is to pull all maps on G M back to T M×[0, 0]and prove smoothness there.Considerfirst the inclusion map i:G0M→G M.It is obvious that the restriction of i to M×(0, 0]is smooth in its domain.If we now consider its restriction to i−1(Φ(U))and compose it withΦ−1,we obtain a map which can be written as:Φ−1◦i(x, )=Φ−1(x,x, )=(x,0x, )for >0,andΦ−1◦i(x,0)=Φ−1(x,0x,0)=(x,0x,0)for =0.This map is obviously smooth in its domain and,asΦis a diffeomorphism, i is smooth in its domain.We shall consider now the range and source maps.The smoothness of both maps when restricted to M×M×(0, ]is again obvious,as is the fact that they are of maximum rank(hence submersions when restricted to this domain).The composition ofΦwith the restriction of r toΦ(U)is expressed as: r◦Φ(q,X q, )=r(exp q( X q/2),exp p(− X p/2), )=(exp q( X q/2), )for >0andr◦Φ(q,X q,0)=(q,0)for =0.Again this map is smooth and of maximum rank in its domain,so that r must also be a submersion.The corresponding proof for the source map is analogous.2.2The geometrical structure of G(2)M⊂G M×G MTo define a differentiable structure for G(2)M,we proceed as in the previous case,by defining a bijection between an open set in G(2)M and an open set in a manifold with boundary,and transporting the differential structure via the bijection.What kind of manifold is G(2)M?The product has to be a smooth mapping between two manifolds with boundary,mapping the boundary on the bound-ary and the interior on the interior.Thus,from the definition of the product it is clear that the boundary of the manifold should be the Whitney sum T M⊕T M,arising as the pullback with respect to the diagonal injection of M in M×M of the product bundle T M×T M.Points in the interior of the manifold are pairs of the form:((x,y, ),(y,z, )). Therefore,we need to define a differential structure in G(2)M in such a way that it becomes a manifold with boundary T M⊕T M,its interior being diffeomorphic to M×M×M×(0, 0].Consider now T M×T M×[0, 0].This is a manifold with boundary,with a natural differential structure.Let(q′,q,X q′,Y q, )be a point in this mani-fold;we use our construction for G M on each T M separately,i.e.,we set the bijection:(q′,q,X q′,Y q, )↔{(e X q′/2q′,e− X q′/2q′, ),(e Y q/2q,e− Y q/2q, )}for >0—with an obvious notation for exp.Those points that interest usresult just from imposing that e− X q′q′=e Y q q.We shall see that this constraintdefines a regular submanifold of T M×T M×[0, 0].For that,for afixed value of ,consider the sequence of mapsΨ:T M×T MΦ−→M×M×M×Mπ23−→M×MΦ−1−→T M→R n given by(q′,q,X q′,Y q)→(e X q′/2q′,e− X q′/2q′,e Y q/2q,e− Y q/2q)→(e− X q′/2q′,e Y q/2q)→(r,X r)→X r,where the(r,X r),that depend on ,are found soΦ(r,X r)=(e− X q′/2q′,e Y q/2q).This composition defines a differentiable mapping of constant rank(it is com-posed of two bijections and two projections onto factors of a product).We then extendΨto a map from T M×T M×[0, 0]to R n×[0, 0]and have then thatΨ−1({0}×[0, 0])defines a regular submanifold S of T M×T M×[0, 0], whose differentiable structure we use to define the structure of manifold with boundary on G(2).[It is perhaps not entirely clear that the boundary of S is T M⊕T M,as we wish.But remember that r depends on through the above manipulations.If we have a sequence(q′n,q n,X q′n ,Y qn, n)in S,with n↓0,its limit is a point(s,s,X,Y)in T M×T M where s= lim q′n=lim q n=lim r( n).]2.3Continuity of the productA very simple argument with Riemannianflavour allows one to prove at least continuity of the product operation in the tangent groupoid.Consider a se-quence in G(2):{(x n,y n, n),(y n,z n, n)}=Φ(q′n,q n,X n,Y n, n)with limit on the boundary.We need to check that the limit of the products coincides with the product of the limits in G M.For elements close enough to the boundary,we know that(s(n),Z s(n))exists,sox n=e Z s(n)/2s(n),z n=e− Z s(n)/2s(n).Assume thatq′n→s,q n→s,X n→A,Y n→B as ↓0. Now,we have(e Z s(n)/2s(n),e− Z s(n)/2s(n))=(e X n/2q′n,e− Y n/2q n)→(s,s)as ↓0,hencelim s(n)=s.It remains to show that lim Z s(n)=A+B.This will follow if we prove Z n= X n+Y n+o( n).But that follows from consideration of the small triangle with vertices x n,y n,z n,formed by geodesics through q′n,q n,s(n)with directions ±X n,±Y n,±Z s(n).One sees that2(X n+Y n−Z s(n))is approximately a circuit around this triangle; by the Gauss–Bonnet theorem,we conclude thatX n+Y n−Z s(n)≈O( 2).2.4A functorial proof of smoothnessLemma6Let there be given two closed submanifolds X0֒→X and Y0֒→Y and a smooth mapping f:X→Y which satisfies f(X0)⊂Y0.Then theinduced mapping˜f:M XX0→M YY0between the corresponding normal conedeformations is also smooth.This is Lemma2.1in[13],where no proof is offered.We give some details of the lemma and then of its application.First of all,if f is a smooth mapping from X to Y such that f(X0)⊂Y0,the image under f∗of the tangent bundle to X0is a subbundle of T Y0,implying the existence of an induced mapping between the respective normal bundles,that we shall continue to call f∗.Now we define˜f by˜f(x, ):=(f(x), )for >0,and˜f(a,Xa):=(f(a),f∗(X a))for(a,X a)an element of the normal bundle and =0.Now,differentiability of˜f follows from the limitlim ↓0 −1exp−1f(a)[f(exp a( X a))]=f∗(X a).The application to the groupoid operations in our context is plain.We discuss the product operation,the only relatively tricky one.Let m:G(2)→G be the groupoid multiplication.Now G(2)∩(G0×G0)=∆(G0)and m(G(2)∩(G0×G0))=G0;indeed,if(u,v)∈G(2)∩(G0×G0)then u=s(u)=r(v)=v by property(i)of Definition2,and so uv=us(u)=u by property(ii).Therefore˜m:M G(2)G0→M GG0is smooth.It remains to prove that M G(2)G0is diffeomorphicto(M GG0)(2).But this is clear on examining the definitions:indeed,M G(2)G0=G(2)×(0, 0]⊎N G(2)G0={(g,h, ):s(g)=r(h)}⊎{(u,X u,Y u):X u,Y u∈N G G0},whereas(M G G0)(2)={(g, 1;h, 2):s(g)=r(h), 1= 2}⊎{(u,X u;v,Y v):u=v}.For G=G M,that boils down to T M⊕T M≈N M×M×MM .Notefinally thedimension count:the dimension of(M GG0)(2)is2(dim G+1)−dim(G0+1)=2dim G−dim G0+1,which is clearly the same as the dimension of M G(2)G0. This completes the proof of Proposition5.3Tangent groupoids and strict quantization3.1The deformation conditionsIn our definition of quantization,we actually strengthen some of Rieffel’s re-quirements.Regard T∗M as a Poisson manifold and consider the classical C∗-algebra A0:=C0(T∗M)of continuous functions vanishing at infinity.We choose a dense subalgebra A0(there is considerable freedom in that,but,to fix ideas,we think of the functions whose Fourier transform in the second argument has compact support),and we search for a family of mappings Q into noncommutative C∗-algebras A such that the following relations hold for arbitrary functions in A0:(1)the map → Q (f) is continuous on[0,h0)with Q0=I;(2)lim →0 Q (f1)Q (f2)−Q (f2)Q (f1)−i Q ({f1,f2}) =0;Those are Rieffel’s strict quantization conditions(Question23of[1]),to which we add:(3)the asymptotic morphism condition lim →0 Q (f1)Q (f2)−Q (f1f2) =0;(4)the reality condition Q (f∗)=Q (f)∗;and also(5)the traciality condition Tr[Q (f1)Q (f2)]= T∗M f1(q,p)f2(q,p)dµ (q,p);where we use the same symbols∗(a bit overworked,admittedly)and · for the adjoint and norm in every C∗-algebra.Axioms(1)to(4)are a slight variant of Landsman’s axioms.That the tangent groupoid construction provides an answer to the twentieth query by Rieffel fol-lows indeed from Landsman’s calculations in[5].There is no point in repeatingthem here,and we limit ourselves to the necessary remarks tofit them in the tangent groupoid framework.Axiom(5)is employed to further select a unique recipe.In[1],Rieffel introduces the important concept of“flabbiness”:a deformation quantization isflabby if it contains the algebra of smooth functions of compact support on M.The constructions performed in this paper require in princi-ple only the existence of sprays,in order to use the tubular neighbourhood theorem.However,in that caseflabbiness is not guaranteed(see below).3.2The C∗-algebra of a groupoidThe natural operation on functions of a groupoid is convolution:(a∗b)(g):= {hk=g}a(h)b(k)= {h:r(h)=r(g)}a(h)b(h−1g)but for this to make sense we need a measure to integrate with.We can either define a family of measures on thefibres of the map r,G x:={g∈G: r(g)=x}for x∈G0(see the detailed treatments given by Kastler[14]and Renault[15])or we canfinesse the issue by ensuring that the integrand is always a1-density on each G x.In the second approach,one uses half-densities,rather than functions.We summarize it here,for completeness.Denote the typicalfibre of s by G y:= {g∈G:s(g)=y}for y∈G0.Since r and s are submersions,thefibres G x and G y are submanifolds of G of the same dimension,say k.If x=r(g)and y=s(g),thenΛk T g G x andΛk T g G y are lines.LetΩ1/2g be the set of maps ρ:Λk T g G x⊗Λk T g G y→C such thatρ(tα)=|t|1/2ρ(α)for t∈R.This is a(complex)line,and it forms thefibre at g of a line bundleΩ1/2→G, called the“half-density bundle”.Let C∞c(G,Ω1/2)be the space of smooth, compactly supported sections of this bundle.For a,b in this space,the con-volution formula makes sense and a∗b∈C∞c(G,Ω1/2)also.The C∗-algebra of the smooth groupoid G⇉G0is the algebra C∗(G)obtained by completing C∞c(G,Ω1/2)in the norm a :=sup y∈G0 πy(a) ,whereπy is the representa-tion of C∞c(G,Ω1/2)on the Hilbert space L2(G y,Ω1/2)of half-densities on the s-fibre G y:πy(a)ξ:g→ G y a(h)ξ(h−1g)where one notices that the integrand is a1-density on G y.If G=M×M,we get just the convolution of kernels:(a∗b)(x,z):= M a(x,y)b(y,z)d ywhere d y denotes integration of a1-density on M parametrized by y.This business of half-densities is very canonical and independent of preassigned measures.However,in our case,if M is an oriented Riemannian manifold,we may use the volume form dν(x):=g(q)d Ywhere we may take f1(x,·)and f2(x,·)in C∞c(T x M).The Fourier transformF a(q,p)=1g(q)d Xreplaces convolution by the ordinary product on the total space T∗M of the cotangent bundle.This extends to the isomorphism also called F:C∗(T M)→C0(T∗M),with inverse:F−1b(q,X)= T∗q M e i pX b(q,p)d n p g(q).3.3The quantization and dequantization recipesLetγq,X be the geodesic on M starting at q with velocity X,with an affine parameter s,i.e.,γq,tX(s)≡γq,X(ts).Locally,we may writex:=γq,X(s), y:=γq,X(−s),with Jacobian matrix∂(x,y)Then one has the change of variables formula:M×MF(x,y)dν(x)dν(y)= M T q M F(γq,X(12))J(q,X;1g(q)d X dν(q), where we introduceJ(q,X;s):=s−n det g(γq,X(−s))∂(q,X)(s).This object can be computed from the equations of geodesic deviation[5].The crucial estimate isJ(q,X,1∂qν;the second one using the variation of the tangent vector,˜hµν(q,X,s)=∂xµ1(q,X,s)Here J−1/2,J1/2mean the corresponding multiplication operators.It is pos-sible to rewrite the formulae so J only appears once,but then we would lose property(5).So there is actually a family of“Moyal”quantizations in the general case,unless we demand traciality(as we do).This is a feature of the nonflat case:note that J=1in the framework of our Section1.In the main development in[5]J actually only appears in the dequantization formula,but again Landsman gives indication on how to modify the formulae to get tracial-ity.Those factors are analogous to the preexponential factors that appear in the semiclassical expression for the path integral:see,e.g.,[16,p.95].One can insert them in several ways without altering the axioms,precisely on account of(6).A bit more explicitly,the previous formulae arek a(x,y; )=J−1/2(q,X,1)k a(x,y; )],(7)2where(x,y)and(q,X)are related by x=γq,X(1).2The long but relatively straightforward verifications in[5]then show that we have defined an(obviously real)preasymptotic morphism which moreover is a strict quantization from C∞c(T∗M)to K(L2(M)).In addition,the tracial property(5)is satisfied.In the Riemannian context we have total tubular neighbourhoods,and it is clear that Fourier transforms of smooth functions of compact support in T∗M decay fast enough that our formulae make sense for them;therefore the quantization isflabby.We make afinal comment on the uniqueness,or lack of it,of the quantiza-tion considered here.Among our choices are those we make to establish the isomorphism between T M and N∆on which the whole construction hinges. Regarding only the differential structure,those choices are parametrized by, say,the pair(ϕ1+ϕ2,ϕ1−ϕ2)∈End(T M)×GL(T M).However,the identifi-cation of the normal bundle with the orthogonal bundle to the diagonal leads to the equationϕ1+ϕ2=0,if we take the natural metric on M×M.To the same equation leads the reality constraint(4),as a simple calculation from(7) shows.After so narrowing the freedom of parameter choice to GL(T M),semitraciality implies at least det(ϕ1−ϕ2)=1.Connes’condition(2)and our discussion in Section1strongly suggest to adopt the restrictionϕ1−ϕ2=1.Let us agree to call all the quantizations(parametrized by End(T M))for which the last equation holds quantizations of the Connes type.Then we have proved: Theorem7For any Riemannian manifold,the only real quantization rules of the Connes type are Moyal quantizations.。

a rX iv:mat h /98234v1[mat h.FA]6Feb1998DEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF CERTAIN NON-LINEAR POISSON STRUCTURES BYUNG–JAY KAHNG Abstract.As a generalization of the linear Poisson bracket on the dual space of a Lie algebra,we introduce certain non-linear Poisson brackets which are “cocycle perturbations”of the linear Poisson bracket.We show that these special Poisson brackets are equivalent to Poisson brackets of central extension type,which re-semble the central extensions of an ordinary Lie bracket via Lie algebra cocycles.We are able to formulate (strict)deformation quantizations of these Poisson brackets by means of twisted group C ∗–algebras.We also indicate that these deformation quantiza-tions can be used to construct some specific non-compact quantum groups.Introduction.Let M be a Poisson manifold.Consider C ∞(M ),the commutative algebra under pointwise multiplication of smooth functions on M .We attempt to deform the pointwise product of smooth functions into a noncommutative product,with respect to a parameter ,such that the direction of the deformation is given by the Poisson bracket on M .This problem of finding a deformation quanti-zation of M ([33],[1])is actually a problem dating back to the early days of quantum mechanics [34],[20].We are particularly interested in the settings where the deformed product of functions is again a function—in contrast to much of the literature on the subject involving formal power series,or the so-called “star products”.In this direction,Rieffel has been developing the no-tion of “strict”deformation quantization,in the C ∗–algebra framework[26,29].Here,in addition to the requirement that the deformed prod-uct of functions is again a function,the deformed algebra is required to have an involution and a C ∗–norm.By using the C ∗–algebra frame-work,one gains the advantage of being able to keep the topological and geometric aspects of the given manifold while we perform the quanti-zation.Let h be a (finite dimensional)Lie algebra.It is well-known [35]that the Lie algebra structure on h defines a natural Poisson bracket on the dual vector space h ∗of h ,which is called a linear Poisson bracket .2BYUNG–JAY KAHNGThis Poisson bracket is also called the“Lie–Poisson bracket”,to em-phasize the fact that it actually was already known to Lie.In[27] Rieffel showed that given the linear Poisson bracket on h∗,a defor-mation quantization is provided by the convolution algebra structure on the simply connected Lie group H corresponding to h.In partic-ular,when h is a nilpotent Lie algebra,this is shown to be a strict deformation quantization.In this paper,we wish to generalize the above situation and to include twisted group convolution algebras into the framework of deformation quantization.Wefirst define a class of Poisson brackets on the dual vector space of a Lie algebra,which contains the linear Poisson bracket as a special case.These Poisson brackets can actually be realized as “central extensions”of the linear Poisson bracket.We then show that twisted group convolution algebras provide deformation quantizations of these Poisson brackets.We obtain strict deformation quantizations when the Lie algebra is nilpotent.In addition to its interest as a generalization of the deformation quantization problem into the non-linear situation,this result has a nice application to quantum groups.Quantum groups[13],[7]are usually obtained by suitably“deforming”ordinary Lie groups,and as suggested by Drinfeld[13],we expect to obtain quantum groups by deformation quantization of the so-called Poisson–Lie groups[19].In some cases, the compatible Poisson brackets on the Poisson–Lie groups are shown to be of our special type,in which case we can apply the result of this paper to obtain(strict)deformation quantizations of them.This enables us to construct some specific non-compact quantum groups.Not only have we actually been able to show[16]that some of the earlier known examples of non-compact quantum groups[28],[31], [11],[18]are obtained in this way,but we also obtain a new class of non-compact quantum groups[15].Although the method of construction may seem rather naive,our new example is shown to satisfy some interesting properties,including the“quasitriangular”property.We will discuss our construction of quantum groups in a separate paper. This paper is organized as follows.In thefirst section,we review the definitions of Poisson brackets and the formulation of(strict)de-formation quantization.We also include a discussion on twisted group algebras,which are the main objects of our study.In the second section, we define our special class of non-linear Poisson brackets,as motivated by the central extension of ordinary Lie brackets.We show in the third section that certain twisted group C∗–algebras provide strict defor-mation quantizations of these special Poisson brackets.We use some non-trivial results on twisted group C∗–algebras obtained by PackerDEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF POISSON STRUCTURES3 and Raeburn[21,22].We restrict our study to the strict deforma-tion quantization case,but some indications for generalization are also briefly mentioned.The essential part of this article is from the author’s Ph.D.thesis at U.C.Berkeley.I would like to express here my deep gratitude to Professor Marc Rieffel,without whose constant encouragement,show of interest and numerous suggestions,this work would not have been made possible.1.PreliminariesLet M be a C∞manifold,and let C∞(M)be the algebra of complex-valued C∞functions on M.It is a commutative algebra under point-wise multiplication,and is equipped with an involution given by com-plex conjugation.Definition1.1.By a Poisson bracket on M,we mean a skew,bilinear map{,}:C∞(M)×C∞(M)→C∞(M)such that the following holds:•{,}defines a Lie algebra structure on C∞(M).(i.e.the bracket satisfies the Jacobi identity.)•(Leibniz rule):{f,gh}={f,g}h+g{f,h},for f,g,h∈C∞(M). We also require that the Poisson bracket be real,in the sense that {f∗,g∗}={f,g}∗.A manifold M equipped with such a bracket is called a Poisson manifold,and C∞(M)is a Poisson(*–)algebra. The deformation quantization will take place in C∞(M)(or to allow non-compact M,in C∞∞(M),which is the space of C∞functions van-ishing at infinity).The Poisson bracket on M gives the direction of the deformation.Let us formulate the following definition for deformation quantization,which is the“strict”deformation quantization proposed by Rieffel[26].Depending on the situations,we may also be inter-ested in some other subalgebras of C∞(M),on which the deformation takes place.So the definition is formulated at the level of an arbitrary (dense)∗–subalgebra A,for example the algebra of Schwartz functions. Definition1.2.Let M be a Poisson manifold as above.Let A be a dense∗–subalgebra(with respect to the C∗–norm ∞)of C∞(M), on which{,}is defined with values in A.By a strict deformation quantization of A in the direction of{,},we mean an open interval I of real numbers containing0,together with a triple(× ,∗ , )for each ∈I,of an associative product,an involution,and a C∗–norm (for× and∗ )on A,such that4BYUNG–JAY KAHNG1.For =0,the operations× ,∗ , are the original pointwiseproduct,involution(complex conjugation),and C∗–norm(i.e.sup-norm ∞)on A,respectively.2.The completed C∗-algebras A form a“continuousfield”of C∗–algebras(In particular,the map → f is continuous for any f∈A.).3.For any f,g∈A,f× g−g× fDEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF POISSON STRUCTURES5 For convenience,let us denote byσr,r∈N the ordinary group cocycle on G defined byσr(x,y)=σ(x,y;r).Corresponding to the continuousfield of cocyclesσ:r→σr,we can define[25]the twisted convolution and involution on L1 G,C∞(N,A) .We define,forφ,ψ∈L1 G,C∞(N,A) :(φ∗σψ)(x;r)= Gφ(y;r)αy ψ(y−1x;r) σr(y,y−1x)dyandφ∗(x;r)=αx φ(x−1;r)∗ σr(x,x−1)∗∆G(x−1).We thus obtain a Banach∗–algebra.Let us denote this algebra byL1(G,N,A,σ),with the group actionαto be understood.We also de-fine C∗(G,N,A,σ),the enveloping C∗–algebra of L1(G,N,A,σ).There are also the notions of induced representations and regular representa-tions[5],[37],[25].So we may as well define the reduced C∗–algebraC∗r(G,N,A,σ).All these are more or less straightforward.Compare this definition with the definition given in[5],where the twisted group convolution algebra has been formulated via a single cocycle.Nevertheless,the present definition is no different from the usual one,since we can regardσalso as a single cocycle,taking values in UZM C∞(N,A) .The present formulation is useful when we study the continuity problem of thefields of C∗–algebras consisting of twisted group C∗–algebras,by varying the cocycles.Recall that the continuousfield property is essential in the definition of the strict deformation quantization(Definition1.2).Using the universal property of full C∗–algebras,and also taking ad-vantage of the property of the reduced C∗–algebras that one is able to work with their specific representations,Rieffel in[25]gave an answer to the problem of the continuity of thefield of C∗–algebras C∗(G,A,σr) r∈N, as follows.Here C∗(G,A,σr)is the twisted group C∗–algebra in the usual sense of[5].Theorem1.4.Let G,A,αbe understood as above.Letσbe a contin-uousfield over N ofα–cocycles on G.Then•Thefield C∗(G,A,σr) over N is upper semi-continuous.• C∗r(G,A,σr) over N is lower semi-continuous.•Thus,if each(G,A,α,σr)satisfies the“amenability condition”,i.e.C∗r(G,A,α,σr)=C∗(G,A,α,σr),then it follows that thefield of C∗–algebras C∗(G,A,σr) r∈N is continuous.For the proof of the theorem and the related questions,we will refer the reader to[25],and the references therein.Note that by replacing6BYUNG–JAY KAHNGA with C∞(N,A)and by introducing a new base space,we may even consider a continuousfield of the twisted group C∗–algebras given by the cocycles of continuousfield type(Definition1.3).The C∗–algebra C∗(G,N,A,σ)may be regarded as a C∗–algebra of “cross sections”of the continuousfield C∗(G,A,σr) r∈N.It is called the C∗–algebra of sections of a C∗–bundle by Packer and Raeburn[22] (Compare this terminology with Fell’s notion of“C∗–algebraic bun-dles”[14],which is considerably more general than is needed for our present purposes.).Actually in[22],the continuity problem of twisted group C∗–algebras allowing both the cocycle and the action to vary continuously has been studied in terms of the aforementioned notion of section C∗–algebra of a C∗–bundle.Taking a related viewpoint, Blanchard in[3]has recently developed a framework for a general con-tinuousfield of C∗–algebras in terms of“C∞(X)–algebras”,where X in our case is the locally compact base space N.A C∞(X)–algebra is a certain C∗–algebra having a C(X)module structure.See[3].We conclude this section by quoting(without proof)a couple of deep theorems of Packer and Raeburn[21,22]on the structure of twisted group C∗–algebras.We tried to keep Packer and Raeburn’s notation and terminology.Although some of them are different from our no-tation,they are clear enough to understand.For example,A×α,u G denotes the twisted group C∗–algebra(or“twisted crossed product”) C∗(G,A,α,u).All this and more can be found in[21,22].These the-orems will be used later in the proof of our Theorem3.4,which is our main result.Theorem1.5.([21])(Decomposition of twisted crossed products)Sup-pose that(A,G,α,u)is a separable twisted dynamical system and N is a closed normal subgroup of G.There exists a canonically determined twisted action(β,v)of G/N on A×α,u N such that:A×α,u G∼=(A×α,u N)×β,v G/N.The next theorem is about the continuity of afield of twisted group C∗–pare this with Theorem1.4,where we considered the continuity problem only when the twisting cocycle is varying.Mean-while,note in the theorem that G is assumed to be amenable(So by the“stabilization trick”of Packer and Raeburn[21],the amenability condition always holds for any quadruple(G,A,α,u).).Theorem1.6.([22])Suppose A is the C∗–algebra of sections of a sep-arable C∗–bundle over a locally compact space X,and(α,u)is a twisted action of an amenable locally compact group G on A such that each ideal I x={a∈A:a(x)=0}is invariant.Then for each x∈X,there is aDEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF POISSON STRUCTURES 7natural twisted action α(x ),u (x )on the quotient A/I x ,and A ×α,u G is the C ∗–algebra of sections of a C ∗–bundle over X with fibers isomor-phic to (A/I x )×α(x ),u (x )G .2.The non-linear Poisson bracketLet us begin by trying to characterize the special Poisson brackets that will allow twisted group algebras to be deformation quantizations of them.Recall that the twisting of the convolution algebra structure in a twisted group algebra is given by group (2–)cocycles.Meanwhile any group cocycle for a locally compact group G having values in an abelian group N can be canonically associated with a central extension of G by N ,and actually all central extensions are essentially obtained in this way [14].Since it is known [27]that ordinary group convolution algebras can be regarded as deformation quantizations of linear Poisson brackets,the above observations suggest that twisted group algebras will provide deformation quantizations of certain Poisson brackets which are,in a loose sense,“central extensions”of linear Poisson brackets.Although we have to make clear what we mean by this last statement,this is the main motivation behind the definition of our special type of Poisson bracket formulated below.Let h be a (finite–dimensional)Lie algebra and let us denote by g =h ∗its dual vector space.As usual,we will denote the dual pairing between h and g by , .We will have to require later that h is a nilpotent or an exponential solvable Lie algebra because of some technical reasons to be discussed below,but for the time being we allow h to be a general Lie algebra.Recall [35]that we define the linear Poisson bracket on the dual vector space g =h ∗by{φ,ψ}lin (µ)= [dφ(µ),dψ(µ)],µ(2.1)where φ,ψ∈C ∞(g )and µ∈g .Here dφ(µ)and dψ(µ)has been naturally realized as elements in h .We wish to define a generalization of this Poisson bracket by allowing a suitable “perturbation”of the right-hand side of equation (2.1).This will be done via a certain Lie algebra 2–cocycle on h ,denoted by Ω,having values in C ∞(g ).That is,we will consider the Poisson brackets of the form:{φ,ψ}(µ)= [dφ(µ),dψ(µ)],µ +Ω dφ(µ),dψ(µ);µ .(2.2)As above,we regard dφ(µ)and dψ(µ)as elements in h .8BYUNG–JAY KAHNGCompare equation(2.2)with the definition of the linear Poisson bracket.In the linear Poisson bracket case,the Lie bracket takes val-ues in h,the elements of which can be regarded as(linear)functions contained in C∞(g),via the dual pairing.That is,the right-hand side of equation(2.1)can be viewed as the evaluation atµ∈g of a C∞–function,[X,Y]∈h⊆C∞(g),where X=dφ(µ)and Y=dψ(µ). In the“perturbed”case,the right-hand side of equation(2.2)may be viewed as the evaluation atµ∈g of a C∞–function,[X,Y]+Ω(X,Y)∈C∞(g),where X=dφ(µ)and Y=dψ(µ).So to make sense of the Poisson brackets of the type given by equation(2.2),we willfirst study the“perturbation”of the Lie bracket on h by a ter,we willfind some additional conditions for the cocycleΩsuch that the equation(2.2)indeed gives a well-defined Poisson bracket on g.Let V be a U(h)–module,possibly infinite dimensional.Consider a 2–cocycleΩfor h having values in V.It is a skew-symmetric,bilinear map from h×h into V such that dΩ=0(For more discussion on cohomology of Lie algebras,see the standard textbooks on the subject [6,§5],[17].).When V is further viewed as an abelian Lie algebra,the space h⊕V can be given a Lie algebra structure[4],[17]which becomes a central extension Lie algebra of h by V:(X,v),(Y,w) h⊕V= [X,Y],X·w−Y·v+Ω(X,Y)for X,Y∈h and v,w∈V.Here the dot denotes the module action.In particular,when V is assumed to be a trivial U(h)–module,we have: (X,v),(Y,w) h⊕V= [X,Y],Ω(X,Y) .(2.3)Let us slightly modify this“central extension”picture as follows,so that we are able to consider a Lie bracket on h+V,where we now allow h∩V=0in general.Clearly,h∩V is a subspace of h.However,since h is already equipped with its given Lie bracket and since V will be assumed to be an abelian Lie algebra,it is only reasonable to consider the case in which h∩V is an abelian subalgebra of h.For simplicity,we will further assume that h∩V is a central subalgebra of h,which means that V is a trivial U(h)–module.Let us denote this central subalgebra by z.Without loss of generality,we may assume that z is the center of h.In this case,we just replace V by an extended abelian Lie algebra, still denoted by V,satisfying h∩V=z.Let us look for a trivial U(h)–module V,which we will view as an abelian Lie algebra,such that h∩V=z is the center of h.Since we eventually want to define a V–valued cocycle for h,from which we construct a bracket operation on C∞(g),we also require that V is contained in C∞(g).So let us consider the subspace q=z⊥of g,andDEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF POISSON STRUCTURES 9choose as our V the following:V =C ∞(g /q )⊆C ∞(g ).Here the functions in V =C ∞(g /q )have been realized as functions in C ∞(g ),by the “pull-back”using the natural projection p :g →g /q .Since any X ∈h can be regarded as a linear function contained in C ∞(g )via the dual pairing,we can see easily that X ∈h ∩V ⊆C ∞(g )if and only if X,µ+ν = X,µ for all µ∈g ,ν∈q .It follows imme-diately that h ∩V =z .On the other hand,consider the representation ad ∗.For any X ∈h and any µ∈g ,we have ad ∗−X (µ)=ν∈q ,since for any Y ∈z ,we have Y,ν = Y,ad ∗−X (µ) = [X,Y ],µ =0.It follows that ad ∗X (f )(µ)=f ad ∗−X (µ) =f (ν)=0,for any f ∈V =C ∞(g /q ).By the natural extension of ad ∗to U (h ),we can give V the trivial U (h )–module structure.Remark.When h has a trivial center,the space V will be just {0}.To avoid this problem,we could have considered C ∞(g )H ,the space of Ad ∗H –invariant C ∞functions on g .It is always nonempty (It contains the so-called Casimir elements [32].).It also satisfies h ∩C ∞(g )H =z and can be given the trivial U (h )–module structure.However,it does not satisfy the following property (Lemma 2.1),which we need later when we define our Poisson bracket.For this reason,we choose our V as it is defined above.At least for nilpotent h ,which is the case we are going to study most of the time,this is less of a problem since h has a non-trivial center.Lemma 2.1.Let V ⊆C ∞(g )be defined as above.Then for any func-tion χ∈V and for any µ∈g ,we have:dχ(µ)∈z .Proof.Since V ⊆C ∞(g ),it follows that dχ(µ)∈h .Recall that dχ(µ)defines a linear functional on g =h ∗by dχ(µ),ν =d dt t =0χ(µ)=0.Since ν∈q is arbitrary,we thus have:dχ(µ)∈z .10BYUNG–JAY KAHNGLet us now turn to the discussion of defining a(perturbed)bracket operation on h+V,which will enable us to formulate our special Poisson bracket on C∞(g).Since h and V are subspaces of h+V,there exists a (linear)surjective map,h→(h+V)/V,whose kernel is h∩V=z.We thus obtain a vector space isomorphism,in a canonical way,between (h+V)/V and h/z.The map from h+V onto h/z is a canonical one, which extends the canonical projection of h onto h/z.Therefore,it is reasonable to consider a cocycle for h/z having values in V(viewed as a trivial U(h/z)–module)and use it to define a bracket operation on h+V.LetΩbe such a cocycle for h/z.Remark.Note that in this setting,the cocycleΩcan naturally be iden-tified with a cocycle˜Ωfor h having values in V(considered as a trivial U(h)–module),satisfying the following“centrality condition”:˜Ω(Z,Y)=˜Ω(Y,Z)=0,(2.4)for any Z∈z and any Y∈h.In fact,we may define˜Ωas˜Ω(X,Y)=Ω(˙X,˙Y),where˙X denotes the image in h/z of X under the canonical projection.For this reason,we will from time to time use the same notation,Ω,to denote bothΩand˜Ω.By viewingΩas a cocycle for h,we can define,as in equation(2.3), a Lie bracket on h⊕V:(X,v),(Y,w) h⊕V= [X,Y],Ω(X,Y) .To define a bracket operation on h+V,consider the natural surjective map from h⊕V onto h+V,whose kernel is:δ={(Z,−Z):Z∈z}⊆h⊕V.Sinceδis clearly central with respect to the Lie bracket[,]h⊕V given above,it is an ideal.Therefore,h+V=(h⊕V)/δis a Lie algebra. The Lie bracket on it is given by:(2.5)[X+v,Y+w]h+V=[X,Y]+Ω(X,Y),X,Y∈h,v,w∈V which is the given Lie bracket on h plus a cocycle term.In this sense, equation(2.5)may be considered as a“perturbed Lie bracket”of the given Lie bracket on pare this with equation(2.2),where the linear Poisson bracket(given by the Lie bracket on h)is“perturbed”by a certain cocycleΩ.Using the observation given above as motivation,let us define more rigorously our Poisson bracket on g=h∗.This is,in fact,a“cocycle perturbation”of{,}lin on g.DEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF POISSON STRUCTURES11 Theorem2.2.Let h be a Lie algebra with center z and let g=h∗be the dual vector space of h.Consider the vector space V=C∞(g/q)⊆C∞(g)as above,where q=z⊥.Let us give V the trivial U(h)–module structure.LetΩbe a Lie algebra2–cocycle for h having values in V, satisfying the centrality condition.That is,Ωis a skew-symmetric, bilinear map from h×h into V such that:Ω X,[Y,Z] +Ω Y,[Z,X] +Ω Z,[X,Y] =0,X,Y,Z∈h satisfying:Ω(Z,Y)=Ω(Y,Z)=0for Z∈z and any Y∈h.Then the bracket operation{,}Ω:C∞(g)×C∞(g)→C∞(g)defined by {φ,ψ}Ω(µ)= [dφ(µ),dψ(µ)],µ +Ω dφ(µ),dψ(µ);µ is a Poisson bracket on g.Remark.If we denote dφ(µ)and dψ(µ)by X and Y,as elements in h,the right-hand side of the definition of the Poisson bracket may be viewed as the evaluation atµ∈g of a C∞–function,[X,Y]+Ω(X,Y)∈h+V∈C∞(g).Note that this expression is just the Lie bracket on h+V defined earlier by equation(2.5).Proof.Since dφ(µ)and dψ(µ)can be naturally viewed as elements in h,it is easy to see that{,}Ωis indeed a map from C∞(g)×C∞(g) into C∞(g).The skew-symmetry and bilinearity are clear.To verify the Jacobi identity,consider the functionsφ1,φ2,φ3in C∞(g).We may write{φ2,φ3}Ωas:{φ2,φ3}Ω(µ)={φ2,φ3}lin(µ)+χ(µ),whereχis a function in V.We therefore have:d {φ2,φ3}Ω (µ)= dφ2(µ),dφ3(µ) +dχ(µ).Thefirst term in the right hand side is the differential of the linear Poisson bracket,which is rather well known[35].Moreover,sinceχ∈V,it follows from Lemma2.1that dχ(µ)∈z,which is“central”with respect to both[,]andΩ.We thus have:φ1,{φ2,φ3}Ω Ω(µ)= dφ1(µ),d({φ2,φ3}Ω)(µ) ,µ +Ω dφ1(µ),d({φ2,φ3}Ω)(µ);µ = dφ1(µ),[dφ2(µ),dφ3(µ)] ,µ +Ω dφ1(µ),[dφ2(µ),dφ3(µ)];µ , and similarly for φ2,{φ3,φ1}Ω Ωand φ3,{φ1,φ2}Ω Ω.So the Jacobi identity for{,}Ωfollows from that of the Lie bracket[,]and the cocycle identity forΩ.That is,φ1,{φ2,φ3}Ω Ω(µ)+ φ2,{φ3,φ1}Ω Ω(µ)+ φ3,{φ1,φ2}Ω Ω(µ)=0.12BYUNG–JAY KAHNGFinally,since d(φψ)=(dφ)ψ+φ(dψ)for anyφ,ψ∈C∞(g),the Leibniz rule for the bracket is also clear.Remark.This is the special type of Poisson bracket we will work with from now on.The linear Poisson bracket{,}lin on g=h∗is clearly of this type,since it corresponds to the case when the cocycleΩis trivial.Meanwhile whenΩis a scalar-valued cocycle,we obtain the so-called affine Poisson bracket[2],[30].Affine Poisson structures oc-cur naturally in the study of symplectic actions of Lie groups with general(not necessarily equivariant for the coadjoint action)moment mappings.The notion of affine Poisson brackets has generalization also to the groupoid level.See[12]or[36].Suppose we are given a Poisson bracket of our special type,{,}Ω, on g=h∗.To discuss its(strict)deformation quantization,it is useful to observe that{,}Ωcan be viewed as a“central extension”of the linear Poisson bracket on the dual vector space of the Lie algebra h/z. This actually follows from the fact that the Lie bracket[,]h+V given by equation(2.5)can be transferred to a Lie bracket on h/z⊕V,which turns out to be a central extension of the Lie bracket on h/z.Let us make this observation more precise.Consider the exact sequence of Lie algebras,0→zι→hρ→h/z→0such thatιandρare the injection and the quotient map,respectively. Let usfix a linear mapτ:h/z→h such thatρτ=id.In this case,the exactness implies that the mapω0:(x,y)→ι−1 [τ(x),τ(y)]−τ([x,y]h/z)(2.6)is well-defined from h/z×h/z into z,and it is actually a Lie algebra cocycle for h/z having values in z.See[4],[17].Then the Lie bracket on h can be written as follows:[X,Y]=τ [ρ(X),ρ(Y)]h/z +ι ω0(ρ(X),ρ(Y)) ,X,Y∈h.(2.7)Since we have been regarding the center z as a subalgebra of h such that h∩V=z,we may ignore the mapιand view z and its image in h or V as the same.Thenτis actually the map that determines the vector space isomorphism between h/z⊕V and h+V.Under this isomorphism and by using equation(2.7),the Lie bracket[,]h+V of equation(2.5)is transferred to a Lie bracket on h/z⊕V defined by:(2.8)(x,v),(y,w) h/z⊕V=[x,y]h/z+ω0(x,y)+Ω(x,y)=[x,y]h/z+ω(x,y).DEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF POISSON STRUCTURES13 Hereω0is the cocycle defined in equation(2.6)and we regardedΩas a cocycle for h/z,as assured by an earlier remark.For convenience,we introduced a new(V–valued)cocycleωfor h/z,as a sum of the two cocyclesω0andΩ.Then it is clear that equation(2.8)defines a central extension of the Lie bracket[,]h/z,where the extension is given by the cocycleω.We can now define a Poisson bracket on g modeled after this central extension type Lie bracket.Theorem2.3.Let h be a Lie algebra with center z and let usfix the mapsρandτgiven above.Let g=h∗.Consider the vector space V⊆C∞(g)defined above and let us give V the trivial U(h/z)–module structure.Supposeωis a Lie algebra cocycle for h/z having values in V.Then the bracket operation{,}ω:C∞(g)×C∞(g)→C∞(g) defined by{φ,ψ}ω(µ)= τ([˙dφ(µ),˙dψ(µ)]h/z),µ +ω ˙dφ(µ),˙dψ(µ);µ is a Poisson bracket on g.Here˙X denotes the image of X under the canonical projectionρof h onto h/z.Proof.DefineΩ:h/z×h/z→V by(2.9)Ω(x,y)=ω(x,y)−ω0(x,y),whereω0is the cocycle for h/z defined in equation(2.6).Then the discussion in the previous paragraph implies that the bracket{,}ωis equivalent to the Poisson bracket{,}Ωgiven in Theorem2.2.There-fore,it is clearly a Poisson bracket on g.Although the present formulation depends on the choice of the map τand hence is not canonical,this Poisson bracket is,by construction, equivalent to the canonical Poisson bracket given in Theorem2.2.The relationship between them is given by equation(2.9).In particular,if we consider the cocycleω0of equation(2.6)in place ofω,so thatΩis trivial,we obtain the linear Poisson bracket{,}lin on g.There-fore,tofind a(strict)deformation quantization of our Poisson bracket {,}Ωof Theorem2.2,we may as well try tofind a(strict)deforma-tion quantization of the central extension type Poisson bracket{,}ω. This change in our point of view is useful when we work with specific examples,where the choice of coordinates are usually apparent.3.Twisted group C∗–algebras as deformationquantizationsAs we mentioned earlier,we expect that twisted group C∗–algebras will be deformation quantizations of the Poisson brackets of“central extension”type.These are in fact the special type of Poisson brackets14BYUNG–JAY KAHNGwe defined in the previous section.A more canonical description has been given in Theorem2.2,while an equivalent,“central extension”type description has been given in Theorem2.3.Let us from now on consider the Poisson bracket{,}ωon g=h∗, as defined in Theorem2.3.For convenience,we willfix the map τ:h/z→h and identify h/z with its imageτ(h/z)⊆h underτ. Tofind a deformation quantization of{,}ω,we will look for a group (2–)cocycle,σ,for the Lie group H/Z of h/z,corresponding to the Lie algebra cocycleω.Then we will form a twisted group C∗–algebra of H/Z withσ,which we will show below will give us a strict deformation quantization of C∞(g)in the direction of{,}ω.By the equivalence of the Poisson brackets{,}ωand{,}Ω,this may also be interpreted as giving a strict deformation quantization of C∞(g)in the direction of{,}Ω.This result will be a generalization of the result by Rieffel [27]saying that an ordinary group C∗–algebra C∗(H)provides a defor-mation quantization of C∞(h∗)in the direction of the linear Poisson bracket on h∗.Recall that the cocycleωprovides a Lie bracket on the space h/z⊕V. If we restrict this Lie bracket to h/z,we obtain the map[,]ω:h/z×h/z→h/z⊕V defined by:[x,y]ω=[x,y]h/z+ω(x,y).(3.1)For the time being,to make our book keeping simpler,let us denote by k and K the Lie algebra h/z and its Lie group H/Z.We now try to construct a group-like structure corresponding to[,]ω.From equation(3.1),we expect to obtain a cocycle extension of the Lie group K=H/Z via a certain group cocycle corresponding toω.As afirst step,let us consider the following Baker–Campbell–Hausdorffseries for k⊕V,ignoring the convergence problem for the moment.DefineS(X,Y)=X+Y+112[X,[X,Y]k⊕V]k⊕V+1S( X, Y)for=0in R.For =0,we let S(X,Y)=X+Y.Lemma3.1.Let ∈R befixed and let S be as above.Then we have, at least formally(ignoring the convergence problem),S X,S (Y,Z) =S S (X,Y),ZS (X,−X)=0,S (X,0)=S (0,X)=Xfor X,Y,Z∈k⊕V.。
