Abstract
Starting with the first-order singular Lagrangian describing the dynamical system with 2nd-class constraints, the noncommutative quantum mechanics on a curved space is investigated by the constraint star-product quantization formalism of the projection operator method. Imposing the additional constraints to eliminate the reduntant degrees of freedom, it is shown that the resultant noncommutative quantum system on the curved space is represented with two kinds of the constrained quantum systems, which are equivalent with each other. Then, it is shown that the resultant Hamiltonians contain the quantum corrections caused by the uncertainty relations among the constraint-operators in addition to those due to the projections of operators, which are missed in the usual approaches with the Dirac-bracket quantization formalism.

1 Introduction
The problem of the noncommutative extensions of the quantum systems constrained to a submanifold embedded in the higher-dimensional Euclidean space has been investigated widely investigated as one of the quantum theories on a curved space untill now[1, 2]. As the curved space, the submanifold specified by () in an -dimensional Euclidean space has been considered in many studies, where . Then, we have shown in the previous studies[2] that the projected constrained quantum systems contain the quantum corrections associated to the projections of operators through the constraint star-product quantization formalism of projection operator method(POM)[3, 4, 5, 6].
As shown in our previous studies[3, 7, 8], the POM satisfies the decomposition of unity formula for the associated canonically conjugate set (ACCS) of the constraint operators. From this formula, then, we will propose the ACCS-expansion formula in the POM.
In this paper, we will construct exactly the noncommutative quantum system on a curved space in the general form. Then, it will be shown that the commutator-algebras and the Hamiltomians in the resultant constraint quantum systems contain the quantum corrections associated to the uncertainty relations among the constraint-operators in addition to those due to the projections of operators, which are missed in the usual approaches with the Dirac-bracket quantization formalism.
The present paper is qrganized as follows. In Sect.2, we propose the brief review of the constraint star-product quantization formalism of the POM and the ACCS-expansion formulas. In Sect.3, we set up the initial unconstraint quantum system, and the consistent-set of constraint-operators and the Lagrange multiplier operators are fixed. Imposing the additional constraints, in Sect.4, the resultant noncommutative quantum systems on the curved space are constructed in the exact form, and the quantum corrections in these resultant systems are investigated. In Sect.5, the discussion and the some concluding remarks are given.
2 ACCS-Expansion of Constraint System
Following the previous works [2], we here present the brief review of the constraint star-product quantization formalism and the ACCS-expansion formulas in quantum constraint systems.
2.1 Star-product quantization
Let be the initial unconstraint quantum system, where is a set of canonically conjugate operators (CCS), , the commutator algebra of defined with
[TABLE]
and is the Hamiltonian of the initial unconstraint system, , the set of the constraint-operators corresponding to the second-class constraints . Starting with , our task is to construct the constraint quantum system , where is the projected CCS satisfying
[TABLE]
For this purpose, we first construct the associated canonically conjugate set (ACCS) from and the projection operator , which is defined as the hyper-operator, to eliminate . Then, is defind by .
Let be the ACCS, and their symplectic forms be
[TABLE]
which obey the commutator algebra
[TABLE]
where is the symplectic matrix.
We next define the symplectic hyper-operators as follows:†††For any operators , .
[TABLE]
From (2.4), obey the hyper-commutator algebra
[TABLE]
Then, the projection operator is defined by
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
and the following formulas for the decomposion of unity:

2.2 ACCS-expansion of operators
From the formula (2.9), any operator is represented in the following form‡‡‡:

where
[TABLE]
In the decomposition of , Eq.(2.15a), the projected part contains the quantum correction terms caused by the operator ordering, and the ACCS-expansion part products the other type of quantum corrections associated to the uncertainty relations for the ACCS
[TABLE]
From the decomposition (2.15a), the initial Hilbert space is defined as follows:
[TABLE]
where is the subspace with the CCS , and , that with the ACCS . Then, the hyper-operator is defined by
[TABLE]
with , which satisfies the following formulas:

with , where
[TABLE]
and, is one of the several relevant states to minimize the uncertainty relations among ’s. As such a state, we shall take the ground state of the coherent states with respect to the , which is denoted with , and is defined by

5 Discussion and Concluding remarks
In order to construct the noncommutative quantum system on the curved space exactly, we have proposed the Lagrangian , (3.2a), with the dynamical constraint, which has been obtained by modifying the first-order singular Lagrangians in noncommutative quantum theories.
Starting with the Lagrangian , we have constructed the noncommutative quantum system constrained to any curved space in strictly, through the sequential projections of the system with the ACCS-expansion formalism.
Then, we have shown that the resultant system is defined with the two kinds of the constrained quantum systems, and , which are equivalent with each other through the projection conditions (4.35b), (4.48b) and (4.52b).
There, we have proved that the resultant Hamiltonians in and in contain the quantum correction terms in the form of the power-series of , which are completely missed in the usual approach with the Dirac-bracket quantization[9, 10].
We have thus constructed the noncommutative quantum systems on a curved space in the exact form.
