We explicitly construct a Fedosov quantization of the underlying symplectic manifold using the Levi-Civita connection of the Killing metric on $G$. We then explain and refine quantized homological reduction for the construction of a star product on the symplectically reduced space in the singular case. Afterwards we show that for $G = \\operatorname{SU} (2)$ the main hypotheses ensuring the method of quantized homological reduction to be applicable hold in the case of our lattice gauge model. For that case, this implies that the - in general singular - symplectically reduced phase space of the corresponding lattice gauge model carries a star product.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-30T05:33:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deformation quantization", "corresponding lattice gauge model carries", "star product", "quantized homological reduction", "standard moment map" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
