Modulation Spaces and Representations for Rieffel's Quantization

Abstract

We define localized modulation maps and modulation spaces of symbols suited to the study of Rieffel's deformation quantization pseudodifferential calculus. They are used to generate Hilbert space representations for the quantized $C^*$-algebras, starting from covariant representations of the corresponding twisted $C^*$-dynamical system. In the case of an Abelian undeformed algebra, orthogonal relations and extra information about the representations are obtained.
