Abstract

This set of notes corresponds to a mini-course given in September 2018 in Bedlewo; it does not contain any new result; it complements -- with intersection -- the introduction to formal deformation quantization and group actions, corresponding to a course given in Villa de Leyva in July 2015. After an introduction to the concept of deformation quantization, we briefly recall existence, classification and representation results for formal star products. We come then to results concerning the notion of formal star products with symmetries; one has a Lie group action (or a Lie algebra action) compatible with the Poisson structure, and one wants to consider star products such that the Lie group acts by automorphisms (or the Lie algebra acts by derivations). We recall in particular the link between left invariant star products on Lie groups and Drinfeld twists, and the notion of universal deformation formulas. Classically, symmetries are particularly interesting when they are implemented by a moment map and we give indications to build a corresponding quantum moment map. Reduction is a construction in classical mechanics with symmetries which allows to reduce the dimension of the manifold; we describe one of the various quantum analogues which have been considered in the framework of formal deformation quantization. We end up by some considerations about convergence of star products.

Extended Future Tube Conjecture for Unipotent Subgroups

Let $\Omega$ be the Lorentz future cone in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to the Lorentz product and let $T^M$ be the $M$-fold product of the future tube $T=\mathbb{R}^{d+1}+i\Omega$. The Lorentz group $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$ acts diagonally on $T^M$, and its complexification $\mathrm{SO}(1,d)^\mathbb{C}$ acts on $\mathbb{C}^{(d+1)\times M}$. We prove that the domain $G^\mathbb{C}\cdot T^M$ is a Stein manifold for any connected unipotent subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$.

The First Correction Term in the Asymptotic Expansion of Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian States

Let $\Lambda$ be a compact Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifold of a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a holomorphic prequantum line bundle. We study the asymptotic expansion of the Lagrangian states associated with $\Lambda$. In particular, we compute explicitly the first nontrivial correction term and show that it is expressed in terms of geometric invariants of the ambient K\"ahler manifold and the Lagrangian submanifold, including their scalar curvatures, the second fundamental form, and the mean curvature. As a consequence, we obtain the corresponding second-order asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Lagrangian states.

Classification of Legendrian doubles and suspensions

We define a construction of Legendrians inside contact manifolds that arise by doubling an exact Lagrangian filling in the page of an open book decomposition. This can be seen as a generalization of a previous construction by Courte and Ekholm to arbitrary open books. These Legendrians, called Legendrian doubles, are shown to admit regular flexible exact Lagrangian fillings, and they are thus classified up to Legendrian isotopy by classical data. Finally, we show that the Legendrian suspension construction, as defined by Arikan and the author in previous work,-this is a Legendrian contained inside a page of an open book that is obtained by using Seidel's suspension of Lefschetz fibrations- is a Legendrian double.
