Abstract. In this paper, we study geometric properties of quotient spaces of proper Lie groupoids. First, we construct a natural stratification on such spaces using an extension of the slice theorem for proper Lie groupoids of Weinstein and Zung. Next, we show the existence of an appropriate metric on the groupoid which gives the associated Lie algebroid the structure of a singular riemannian foliation. With this metric, the orbit space inherits a natural length space structure whose properties are studied. Moreover, we show that the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid can be triangulated. Finally, we prove a de Rham theorem for the complex of basic differential forms on a proper Lie groupoid.
It is shown that the principle of locality and noncommutative geometry can be connnected by a sheaf theoretical method. In this framework quantum spaces are introduced and examples in mathematical physics are given. With the language of quantum spaces noncommutative principal and vector bundles are defined and their properties are studied. Important constructions in the classical theory of principal fibre bundles like associated bundles and differential calculi are carried over to the quantum case. At the end q-deformed instanton models are introduced for every integral index.
For every formal power series B = B 0 + λB 1 + O(λ 2 ) of closed two-forms on a manifold Q and every value of an ordering parameter κ ∈ [0, 1] we construct a concrete star product ⋆ B κ on the cotangent bundle π : T * Q → Q. The star product ⋆ B κ is associated to the formal symplectic form on T * Q given by the sum of the canonical symplectic form ω and the pull-back of B to T * Q. Deligne's characteristic class of ⋆ B κ is calculated and shown to coincide with the formal de Rham cohomology class of π * B divided by iλ. Therefore, every star product on T * Q corresponding to the Poisson bracket induced by the symplectic form ω + π * B 0 is equivalent to some ⋆ B κ . It turns out that every ⋆ B κ 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 Q. 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. *
In this article, the cyclic homology theory of formal deformation quantizations of the convolution algebra associated to a properétale Lie groupoid is studied. We compute the Hochschild cohomology of the convolution algebra and express it in terms of alternating multi-vector fields on the associated inertia groupoid. We introduce a noncommutative Poisson homology whose computation enables us to determine the Hochschild homology of formal deformations of the convolution algebra. Then it is shown that the cyclic (co)homology of such formal deformations can be described by an appropriate sheaf cohomology theory. This enables us to determine the corresponding cyclic homology groups in terms of orbifold cohomology of the underlying orbifold. Using the thus obtained description of cyclic cohomology of the deformed convolution algebra, we give a complete classification of all traces on this formal deformation, and provide an explicit construction.
We construct a nontrivial cyclic cocycle on the Weyl algebra of a symplectic vector space. Using this cyclic cocycle we construct an explicit, local, quasi-isomorphism from the complex of differential forms on a symplectic manifold to the complex of cyclic cochains of any formal deformation quantization thereof. We give a new proof of Nest-Tsygan's algebraic higher index theorem by computing the pairing between such cyclic cocycles and the K-theory of the formal deformation quantization. Furthermore, we extend this approach to derive an algebraic higher index theorem on a symplectic orbifold. As an application, we obtain the analytic higher index theorem of Connes-Moscovici and its extension to orbifolds.
