Abstract

top
It is shown how the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra L can be obtained as a formal deformation of the Kirillov-Souriau Poisson algebra C ( L * ) of smooth functions on the dual of L . This deformation process may be viewed as a “quantization” in the sense of F. Bayen, M. Flato, C. Fronsdal, A. Lichnerowicz and D. Sternheimer [Ann. Phys. 111, 61-110 (1978; Zbl 0377.53024) and ibid., 111-151 (1978; Zbl 0377.53025)]. The result presented is a somewhat more elaborate version of earlier findings by S. Gutt [Lett. Math. Phys. 7, 249-258 (1983; Zbl 0522.58019)] and V. G. Drinfel’d [Sov. Math., Dokl. 28, 667-671 (1983); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 273, No. 3, 531-535 (1983; Zbl 0553.58038)].
