geometry from Fedosov's deformation quantization

Abstract: A geometric derivation of W ∞ Gravity based on Fedosov's deformation quantization of symplectic manifolds is presented. To lowest order in Planck's constant it agrees with Hull's geometric formulation of classical nonchiral W ∞ Gravity. The fundamental object is a W-valued connection one form belonging to the exterior algebra of the Weyl algebra bundle associated with the symplectic manifold. The W-valued analogs of the Self Dual Yang Mills equations, obtained from a zero curvature condition, naturally lead to… Show more

“…Higgs matter fields in the adjoint representation were introduced also with the typical quartic potential terms which generated an infinte tower of massive spin 2 fields (massive higher spin fields in the case of w ∞ gauge theories) after an sponteaneous symmetry breaking. These gauge theories based on the infinite-dim Virasoro and w ∞ , w ∞ ∞ algebras are essential ingredients to understand further what is W ∞ Geometry [62], [72]. The importance of non-critical W ∞ strings within the context of Vasilev's higher spin theories [63] and ( super ) membranes in D = 11, 27 dimensions, Moyal deformations of gravity, the higher-dim Quantum Hall Effect, Chern-Simons Branes ( High-dimensional version of Knots ) and Topological Chern-Simons Matrix models was analyzed in [71] .…”

“…It is interesting that the Moyal product was recently found to be relevant to the M theory in its M(atrix) formulation [32,33,34,35]. A parallelism between HS gauge theories and the Fedosov quantization was recently emphasized in [36]. Another interesting parallelism is due to the analysis of N = 2 critical open superstring in [37] where it was shown that physical degrees of freedom of the model describe self-dual fields of arbitrary high spin and can naturally be described in terms of a hyperspace with spinor commuting coordinates.…”

“…There were proposed different sophisticate constructions with formal and partial solutions for quantum gravity and field interactions theories. We cite here the BRST quantization methods for non-Abelian and open gauge algebras [1,2,3,4], deformation quantization [5,6,7,8], quantization of general Lagrange structures and, in general, BRST quantization without Lagrangians and Hamiltonians [9,10], W -geometry and Moyal deformations of gravity via strings and branes [11,12,13] and quantum loops and spin networks [14,15,16].…”
