Let X be a (generalized) flag manifold of a complex semisimple Lie group G . We investigate the problem of constructing a graded star product on = R ( T X ) which corresponds to a G -equivariant quantization of symbols into twisted differential operators acting on half-forms on X . We construct, when is generated by the momentum functions μ x for G , a preferred choice of where μ x φ has the form μ x φ + 1 2 { μ x , φ } t + Λ x ( φ ) t 2 . Here Λ x are operators on . In the known examples, Λ x ( x 0 ) is not a differential operator, and so the star product μ x φ is not local in φ . acquires an invariant positive definite inner product compatible with its grading. The completion of is a new Fock space type model of the unitary representation of G on L 2 half-densities on X .

AB - Let $X$ be a (generalized) flag manifold of a complex semisimple Lie group $G$. We investigate the problem of constructing a graded star product on ${\mathcal {R}}=R(T^\star X)$ which corresponds to a $G$-equivariant quantization of symbols into twisted differential operators acting on half-forms on $X$. We construct, when ${\mathcal {R}}$ is generated by the momentum functions $\mu ^x$ for $G$, a preferred choice of $\star $ where $\mu ^x\star \phi $ has the form $\mu ^x\phi +{1\over 2}\lbrace \mu ^x,\phi \rbrace t+\Lambda ^x(\phi )t^2$. Here $\Lambda ^x$ are operators on ${\mathcal {R}}$. In the known examples, $\Lambda ^x$ ($x\ne 0$) is not a differential operator, and so the star product $\mu ^x\star \phi $ is not local in $\phi $. ${\mathcal {R}}$ acquires an invariant positive definite inner product compatible with its grading. The completion of ${\mathcal {R}}$ is a new Fock space type model of the unitary representation of $G$ on $L^2$ half-densities on $X$.
