Tout d'abord mes parents, qui m'ont suivi toute ma scolarité jusque dans les études supérieures. Mon épouse, qui s'est investie pour moi dans diverses démarches administratives, trajets, et au quotidien ; et me signalait tous les progrès successifs faits par notre fils. Fabien ensuite, qui m'a fait part de l'opportunité d'une place en thèse sur Mulhouse. Takashi et Elodie, ainsi que Philippe, pour leur hospitalité lorsque j'avais besoin de retourner sur Strasbourg assister à des cours ou des conférences. Je remercie chaleureusement M me Wurth pour sa disponibilité et son accueil à mon égard. Je tiens aussi à exprimer ma gratitude à Celui qui m'a protégé sur la route plusieurs fois plus longue que prévue. Je souhaite également remercier les membres du laboratoire de m'avoir bien accueilli parmi eux, pour les discussions, énigmes et réflexions menées lors des repas et poursuivies quelques fois plus avancé dans l'après-midi. Merci à Abdennour pour les récents échanges, partages et découvertes. Je remercie vivement M me Fricker, pour la gestion et résolution d'innombrables détails administratifs, M me Robert pour les échanges prompts avec l'école doctorale, ainsi que les personnes des ressources humaines pour leurs conseils. Merci aussi à mes directeurs de thèse pour avoir cru en moi, m'avoir introduit dans leurs recherches, expliqué et ré-expliqué les points moins évidents, fait et refait des calculs gigantesques, envoyé suivre des conférences et des écoles d'été en diverses retraites et conseillé durant tout ces travaux. Merci de m'avoir offert à de nombreuses reprises le couvert et/ou le café. Je tiens enfin à remercier les rapporteurs et membres du jury d'avoir accepté de prendre le temps de regarder mon travail, et de leurs remarques et critiques pour l'améliorer.
(Bi)Modules, morphisms, and reduction of star-products: the symplectic case, foliations, and obstructions

Moreover, we construct a deformation quantization for this space of sections by means of a Fedosov type procedure.

Rack-Bialgebras and Star-Products on duals of Leibniz algebras

In case of a principal fibre bundle we require in addition invariance under the principal action. We prove existence and uniqueness of such deformations. The commutant within all differential operators on the total space is computed and gives a deformation of the algebra of vertical differential operators. Applications to noncommutative gauge field theories and phase space reduction of star products are discussed.

The matrices r and s are computed explicitly and, being field dependent, satisfy fundamental Poisson bracket relations of their own, which can be expressed in terms of a new numerical matrix c. It is proposed that all these Poisson brackets taken together are representation conditions for a new kind of algebra which, for this class of models, replaces the classical Yang-Baxter algebra governing the canonical structure of ultralocal models. The Poisson brackets for the transition matrices are also computed, and the notorious regularization problem associated with the definition of the Poisson brackets for the monodromy matrices is discussed.

2-dimensional nonlinear sigma models: zero curvature and Poisson structure

The solutions to the field equations are (pseudo-)harmonic maps of twodimensional Minkowski space into some homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. In Section 2 we shall give a brief introduction to the physics of these models and discuss the conditions under which a zero curvature ansatz built out of the conserved currents is possible: Theorem (2.1) which is an extended version of old work of the physicists K. Pohlmeyer [29] and H. Eichenherr & M. Forger [11] shows under weak technical assumptions that such an ansatz works if and only if the target manifold is a (pseudo-)Riemannian symmetric space. We have included the rather technical, mainly Lie algebraic proof because the result is new (although not very surprising). The use of symmetric spaces in this context had recently been rediscovered in the mathematics literature (see, for example [31]) and applied to harmonic tori, see for...

The construction is not functorial.

First we show by an elementary argument that the BCH as well as the Kontsevich star-product are strongly closed if and only if the Lie algebra is unimodular. In a next step we show that the traces of the BCH star-product are given by the -invariant functionals. Particular examples are the integration over coadjoint orbits. We show that for a compact Lie group and a regular orbit one can even achieve that this integration becomes a positive trace functional. In this case we explicitly describe the corresponding GNS representation. Finally we discuss how invariant deformations on a group can be used to induce deformations of spaces where the group acts on.
