Quantization, Poisson Brackets and Beyond
Share this pageEdited by Theodore Voronov
The papers in this volume are based on talks given at the 2001
Manchester Meeting of the London Mathematical Society, which was
followed by an international workshop on “Quantization,
Deformations, and New Homological and Categorical Methods in
Mathematical Physics”.
The focus is on the topics suggested by the title: Quantization in its
various aspects, Poisson brackets and generalizations, and structures
“beyond”, including symplectic supermanifolds, operads, Lie groupoids
and Lie (bi)algebroids and algebras with \(n\)-ary operations. This book
offers accounts of new results as well as accessible expositions useful
to a broad reading audience of researchers in differential geometry,
algebraic topology and mathematical physics.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in mathematical physics, differential geometry, and algebraic topology.
