Mathematical Aspects of Quantization
Share this pageEdited by Samuel Evens; Michael Gekhtman; Brian C. Hall; Xiaobo Liu; Claudia Polini
This book is a collection of expository
articles from the Center of Mathematics at Notre Dame's 2011 program
on quantization.
Included are lecture notes from a summer school on quantization on
topics such as the Cherednik algebra, geometric quantization, detailed
proofs of Willwacher's results on the Kontsevich graph complex, and
group-valued moment maps.
This book also includes expository articles on quantization and
automorphic forms, renormalization, Berezin–Toeplitz quantization in
the complex setting, and the commutation of quantization with
reduction, as well as an original article on derived Poisson brackets.
The primary goal of this volume is to make topics in quantization
more accessible to graduate students and researchers.
