Existence of Natural and Conformally Invariant Quantizations of Arbitrary Symbols
P. Mathonet, F. Radoux
Pages: 539 - 556
A quantization can be seen as a way to construct a differential operator with prescribed principal symbol. The map from the space of symbols to the space of differential operators is moreover required to be a linear bijection.
In general, there is no natural quantization procedure, that is, spaces of...
