IFFT-equivariant quantizations

Abstract

The existence and uniqueness of quantizations that are equivariant with respect to conformal and projective Lie algebras of vector fields were recently obtained by Duval, Lecomte and Ovsienko. In order to do so, they computed spectra of some Casimir operators. We give an explicit formula for those spectra in the general framework of I FFT-algebras classified by Kobayashi and Nagano. We also define t ree-like subsets of eigenspaces of those operators in which eigenvalues can be compared to show the existence of IFFT-equivariant quantizations. We apply our results to prove the existence and uniqueness of quantizations that are equivariant with respect to the infinitesimal action of the symplectic (resp. pseudo-orhogonal) group on the symplectic (resp. pseudo-orthogonal) Grassmann manifold.
