Homogeneous Fedosov Star Products on Cotangent Bundles I: Weyl and Standard Ordering with Differential Operator Representation
In this paper we construct homogeneous star products of Weyl type on every
cotangent bundle by means of the Fedosov procedure using a symplectic
torsion-free connection on homogeneous of degree zero with respect to
the Liouville vector field. By a fibrewise equivalence transformation we
construct a homogeneous Fedosov star product of standard ordered type
equivalent to the homogeneous Fedosov star product of Weyl type.
Representations for both star product algebras by differential operators on
functions on are constructed leading in the case of the standard ordered
product to the usual standard ordering prescription for smooth complex-valued
functions on polynomial in the momenta (where an arbitrary fixed
torsion-free connection on is used). Motivated by the flat case
another homogeneous star product of Weyl type corresponding to the
Weyl ordering prescription is constructed. The example of the cotangent bundle
of an arbitrary Lie group is explicitly computed and the star product given by
Gutt is rederived in our approach.Comment: 31 pages, LaTeX2e, no picture
On representations of star product algebras over cotangent spaces on Hermitian line bundles
For every formal power series of closed
two-forms on a manifold and every value of an ordering parameter we construct a concrete star product on the cotangent
bundle . The star product is associated to
the formal symplectic form on given by the sum of the canonical
symplectic form and the pull-back of to . Deligne's
characteristic class of is calculated and shown to coincide
with the formal de Rham cohomology class of divided by \im\lambda.
Therefore, every star product on corresponding to the Poisson bracket
induced by the symplectic form is equivalent to some
. It turns out that every is strongly closed. In
this paper we also construct and classify explicitly formal representations of
the deformed algebra as well as operator representations given by a certain
global symbol calculus for pseudodifferential operators on . Moreover, we
show that the latter operator representations induce the formal representations
by a certain Taylor expansion. We thereby obtain a compact formula for the WKB
expansion.Comment: LaTeX2e, 38 pages, slight generalization of Theorem 4.4, minor typos

Screening of future carbon storage sites – selecting the best spots
Subsurface carbon storage can occur in depleted oil and gas fields, in water-wet structures, or in open aquifers. All three types of storage sites present advantages and inconveniences, which will be reviewed in this talk. The selection of future sites for carbon storage balances storage capacity (how much CO2 can be stored), injectivity (how efficiently or fast CO2 can be stored), and containment risk (how safely CO2 can be stored). We present a rigorous uncertainty-based approach involving estimates of pore volume, pressure and temperature conditions and resulting fluid properties, and sealing and containment behaviour, to highlight areas with best potential for safe and effective carbon storage
Identifying suitable substrates for high-quality graphene-based heterostructures
We report on a scanning confocal Raman spectroscopy study investigating the
strain-uniformity and the overall strain and doping of high-quality chemical
vapour deposited (CVD) graphene-based heterostuctures on a large number of
different substrate materials, including hexagonal boron nitride (hBN),
transition metal dichalcogenides, silicon, different oxides and nitrides, as
well as polymers. By applying a hBN-assisted, contamination free, dry transfer
process for CVD graphene, high-quality heterostructures with low doping
densities and low strain variations are assembled. The Raman spectra of these
pristine heterostructures are sensitive to substrate-induced doping and strain
variations and are thus used to probe the suitability of the substrate material
for potential high-quality graphene devices. We find that the flatness of the
substrate material is a key figure for gaining, or preserving high-quality
graphene.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
