Poisson brackets (P.b.) are the natural initial terms for the deformation quantization of commutative algebras. There is an open problem whether any Poisson bracket on the polynomial algebra of n variables can be quantized. It is known (Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem) that any linear P.b. for all n

โฆ Synopsis
This paper discusses the notion of a deformation quantization for an arbitrary polynomial Poisson algebra A. We compute an explicit third order deformation quantization of A and show that it comes from a quantized enveloping algebra. We show that this deformation extends to a fourth order deformation if and only if the quantized enveloping algebra gives a fourth order deformation; moreover we give an example where the deformation does not extend. A correction term to the third order quantization given by the enveloping algebra is computed, which precisely cancels the obstruction, so that the modified third order deformation extends to a fourth order one. The solution is generically unique, up to equivalence.

In this paper we introduce two classes of Poisson brackets on algebras (or on sheaves of algebras). We call them locally free and nonsingular Poisson brackets. Using the Fedosov's method we prove that any locally free nonsingular Poisson bracket can be quantized. In particular, it follows from this
In this paper, we consider algebras with involution over a ring C which is given by the quadratic extension by i of an ordered ring R. We discuss the \* -representation theory of such \* -algebras on pre-Hilbert spaces over C and develop the notions of Rieffel induction and formal Morita equivalence
