Phase Space Reduction for Star-Products: An Explicit Construction for CP^n

We derive a closed formula for a star-product on complex projective space and on the domain $SU(n+1)/S(U(1)\times U(n))$ using a completely elementary construction: Starting from the standard star-product of Wick type on $C^{n+1} \setminus \{ 0 \}$ and performing a quantum analogue of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we can give an easy algebraic description of this star-product. Moreover, going over to a modified star-product on $C^{n+1} \setminus \{ 0 \}$, obtained by an equivalence transformation, this description can be even further simplified, allowing the explicit computation of a closed formula for the star-product on \CP^n which can easily transferred to the domain $SU(n+1)/S(U(1)\times U(n))$.Comment: LaTeX, 17 page

Identification of Berezin-Toeplitz deformation quantization

We give a complete identification of the deformation quantization which was obtained from the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on an arbitrary compact Kaehler manifold. The deformation quantization with the opposite star-product proves to be a differential deformation quantization with separation of variables whose classifying form is explicitly calculated. Its characteristic class (which classifies star-products up to equivalence) is obtained. The proof is based on the microlocal description of the Szegoe kernel of a strictly pseudoconvex domain given by Boutet de Monvel and Sjoestrand.Comment: 26 page

Subalgebras with Converging Star Products in Deformation Quantization: An Algebraic Construction for \complex \mbox{\LARGE P}^n

Based on a closed formula for a star product of Wick type on \CP^n, which has been discovered in an earlier article of the authors, we explicitly construct a subalgebra of the formal star-algebra (with coefficients contained in the uniformly dense subspace of representative functions with respect to the canonical action of the unitary group) that consists of {\em converging} power series in the formal parameter, thereby giving an elementary algebraic proof of a convergence result already obtained by Cahen, Gutt, and Rawnsley. In this subalgebra the formal parameter can be substituted by a real number $\alpha$: the resulting associative algebras are infinite-dimensional except for the case $\alpha=1/K$, $K$ a positive integer, where they turn out to be isomorphic to the finite-dimensional algebra of linear operators in the $K$th energy eigenspace of an isotropic harmonic oscillator with $n+1$ degrees of freedom. Other examples like the $2n$-torus and the Poincar\'e disk are discussed.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX with AMS Font

A correlation of results of flight investigation with results of an analytical study of effects of wing flexibility on wing strains due to gusts

An analytical study of the effects of wing flexibility on wing strains due to gusts has been made for four spanwise stations of a four-engine bomber airplane, and the results have been correlated with results of a previous flight investigation

Toeplitz operators on symplectic manifolds

We study the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on symplectic manifolds making use of the full off-diagonal asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel. We give also a characterization of Toeplitz operators in terms of their asymptotic expansion. The semi-classical limit properties of the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization for non-compact manifolds and orbifolds are also established.Comment: 40 page

An explicit formula for the Berezin star product

We prove an explicit formula of the Berezin star product on Kaehler manifolds. The formula is expressed as a summation over certain strongly connected digraphs. The proof relies on a combinatorial interpretation of Englis' work on the asymptotic expansion of the Laplace integral.Comment: 19 pages, to appear in Lett. Math. Phy

The Spectrum of the Dirac Operator on Coset Spaces with Homogeneous Gauge Fields

The spectrum and degeneracies of the Dirac operator are analysed on compact coset spaces when there is a non-zero homogeneous background gauge field which is compatible with the symmetries of the space, in particular when the gauge field is derived from the spin-connection. It is shown how the degeneracy of the lowest Landau level in the recently proposed higher dimensional quantum Hall effect is related to the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for the Dirac operator on a compact coset space.Comment: 25 pages, typeset in LaTeX, uses youngtab.st

Balanced metrics on Cartan and Cartan-Hartogs domains

This paper consists of two results dealing with balanced metrics (in S. Donaldson terminology) on nonconpact complex manifolds. In the first one we describe all balanced metrics on Cartan domains. In the second one we show that the only Cartan-Hartogs domain which admits a balanced metric is the complex hyperbolic space. By combining these results with those obtained in [13] (Kaehler-Einstein submanifolds of the infinite dimensional projective space, to appear in Mathematische Annalen) we also provide the first example of complete, Kaehler-Einstein and projectively induced metric g such that $\alpha g$ is not balanced for all $\alpha >0$.Comment: 11 page
