An adaptation of Rieffel's notion of “strict deformation quantization” is applied to a particle moving on an arbitrary Riemannian manifold Q in an external gauge field, that is, a connection on a principal H-bundle P over Q. Hence the Poisson algebra A 0= C 0 ((T∗ P)/H) is deformed into the C∗-algebra A= K (L 2 (P)) H of H-invariant compact operators on L 2 (P), which is isomorphic to K (L 2 (Q))⊗ C∗(H), involving the group algebra of H. Planck's constant h ̶ is a genuine number rather than a formal expansion parameter, and in the limit h ̶→ 0 commutators and anti-commutators converge to Poisson brackets and pointwise products, respectively, in a well-defined analytic sense. This deformation can be interpreted in terms of Lie groupoids and algebroids, as A 0 is the Poisson algebra of the Lie algebroid (TP)/H, whereas A is the C∗-algebra of the gauge groupoid of the bundle (P, Q, H. Other topics we discuss from the point of view of our formalism are Wigner functions, and the quantization of the Hamiltonian as well as position and momentum (including their domains).
