    Universality of Fedosov's Construction for Star Products of Wick Type on Pseudo-K\"ahler Manilfolds

    In this paper we construct star products on a pseudo-K\"ahler manifold (M,ω,I)(M,\omega,I) using a modification of the Fedosov method based on a different fibrewise product similar to the Wick product on Cn\mathbb C^n. In a first step we show that this construction is rich enough to obtain star products of every equivalence class by computing Deligne's characteristic class of these products. Among these products we uniquely characterize the ones which have the additional property to be of Wick type which means that the bidifferential operators describing the star products only differentiate with respect to holomorphic directions in the first argument and anti-holomorphic directions in the second argument. These star products are in fact strongly related to star products with separation of variables introduced and studied by Karabegov. This characterization gives rise to special conditions on the data that enter the Fedosov procedure. Moreover, we compare our results that are based on an obviously coordinate independent construction to those of Karabegov that were obtained by local considerations and give an independent proof of the fact that star products of Wick type are in bijection to formal series of closed two-forms of type (1,1)(1,1) on MM. Using this result we finally succeed in showing that the given Fedosov construction is universal in the sense that it yields all star products of Wick type on a pseudo-K\"ahler manifold.Comment: terminology corrected, typos removed, appendix adde

    Mean field propagation of Wigner measures and BBGKY hierarchies for general bosonic states

    Contrary to the finite dimensional case, Weyl and Wick quantizations are no more asymptotically equivalent in the infinite dimensional bosonic second quantization. Moreover neither the Weyl calculus defined for cylindrical symbols nor the Wick calculus defined for polynomials are preserved by the action of a nonlinear flow. Nevertheless taking advantage carefully of the information brought by these two calculuses in the mean field asymptotics, the propagation of Wigner measures for general states can be proved, extending to the infinite dimensional case a standard result of semiclassical analysis.Comment: 39 page
