Deformation Quantization for Actions of Kählerian Lie Groups

Abstract

Let $\mathbb B$ be a Lie group admitting a left-invariant negatively curved Kählerian structure. Consider a strongly continuous action $α$ of $\mathbb B$ on a Fréchet algebra $\mathcal A$. Denote by $\mathcal A^\infty$ the associated Fréchet algebra of smooth vectors for the action $α$. In the Abelian case $\mathbb B=\mathbb R^{2n}$ and $α$ isometric, Marc Rieffel proved that Weyl's operator symbol composition formula yields a deformation through Fréchet algebra structures ${\star_θ^α}_{θ\in\mathbb R}$ on $\mathcal A^\infty$. When $\mathcal A$ is a $C^\star$-algebra, every deformed algebra $(\mathcal A^\infty,\star^α_θ)$ admits a compatible pre-$C^\star$-structure. In this paper, we prove both analogous statements in the general negatively curved Kählerian group and (non-isometric) "tempered" action case. The construction relies on the one hand on combining a non-Abelian version of oscillatory integral on tempered Lie groups with geometrical objects coming from invariant WKB-quantization of solvable symplectic symmetric spaces, and, on the second hand, in establishing a non-Abelian version of the Calderòn-Vaillancourt Theorem. In particular, we give an oscillating kernel formula for WKB-star products on symplectic symmetric spaces that fiber over an exponential Lie group.

In this version, we have removed section 7.7 (section 8.7 in the published version). Proposition 7.47 contained a mistake which invalidates our proof of the invariance of the $K$-theory under deformation (Theorem 7.50)
