Deformation quantization for actions of the affine group
Abstract
Description
We define a universal deformation formula (UDF) for the actions of the affine group on Frechet algebras. More precisely, starting with any associative Frechet algebra which the affine group acts on in a strongly continuous and isometrical manner, the UDF produces a family of topological associative algebra structures on the space of smooth vectors of the action deforming the initial product. The deformation field obtained is based over an infinite dimensional parameter space naturally associated with the space of pseudo-differential operators on the real line. This note also presents some geometrical aspects of the UDF and in particular its relation with hyperbolic geometry.
