Title: Deformations of noncommutative algebras and non-Abelian Hamiltonian systems
Abstract: By a well-known procedure, usually referred to as ``taking the classical limit'', quantum systems become classical systems, equipped with a Hamiltonian structure (symplectic or Poisson). From the deformation quantisation theory we know that a formal deformation of a commutative algebra A leads to a Poisson bracket on A and that the classical limit of a derivation on the deformation leads to a Hamiltonian derivation on A defined by the Poisson bracket. In this talk I present a generalisation of it for formal deformations of an arbitrary noncommutative algebra A [1]. A deformation leads in this case to a commutative Poisson algebra structure on П(A):=Z(A)\times(A/Z(A)) and to the structure of a $П(A)-Poisson module on A, where Z(A) denotes the centre of A. The limiting derivations are then still derivations of A, but with the Hamiltonians belong to П(A), rather than to A. We illustrate our construction with several cases of formal deformations, coming from known quantum algebras, such as the ones associated with the Kontsevich integrable map, the quantum plane the quantised Grassmann algebra and quantisations of the Volterra hierarchy [2], [3], [4].
This talk is based on a joint work with Pol Vanhaecke [1].
