Workshop on Aspects of Quantization

September 23-28, 1999

Quantization describes a mathematical procedure which associates a vector space (the "physical Hilbert space") to a symplectic manifold (the "classical phase space"). The workshop will focus on three aspects of quantization: geometric quantization, coherent state quantization and the behaviour of quantization under symplectic reduction (which was the subject of a celebrated conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg, recently proved under very general hypotheses).
