Abstract

Let $\mathbb {B}$ be a Lie group admitting a left-invariant negatively curved KĂ€hlerian structure. Consider a strongly continuous action $\alpha$ of $\mathbb {B}$ on a FrĂ©chet algebra $\mathcal {A}$. Denote by $\mathcal {A}^\infty$ the associated FrĂ©chet algebra of smooth vectors for this action. In the Abelian case $\mathbb {B}=\mathbb {R}^{2n}$ and $\alpha$ isometric, Marc Rieffel proved that Weyl’s operator symbol composition formula (the so called Moyal product) yields a deformation through FrĂ©chet algebra structures $\{\star _{\theta }^\alpha \}_{\theta \in \mathbb {R}}$ on $\mathcal {A}^\infty$. When $\mathcal {A}$ is a $C^*$-algebra, every deformed FrĂ©chet algebra $(\mathcal {A}^\infty ,\star ^\alpha _\theta )$ admits a compatible pre-$C^*$-structure, hence yielding a deformation theory at the level of $C^*$-algebras too. In this memoir, we prove both analogous statements for general negatively curved KĂ€hlerian groups. The construction relies on the one hand on combining a non-Abelian version of oscillatory integral on tempered Lie groups with geom,etrical objects coming from invariant WKB-quantization of solvable symplectic symmetric spaces, and, on the second hand, in establishing a non-Abelian version of the CalderĂłn-Vaillancourt Theorem. In particular, we give an oscillating kernel formula for WKB-star products on symplectic symmetric spaces that fiber over an exponential Lie group.
