Title / Titel Integral Invariants of Knots and Manifolds. Loop and Path Spaces and Topological BF Theories. Deformation Quantization and Poisson Sigma Models
PDF Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung Deformation quantization means finding an associative deformation of the Poisson algebra of functions on a Poisson manifold.

The existence and classification of deformation quantizations in the general case was proved by Kontsevich who exhibited an explicit formula. This formula also appears as the perturbative expansion of a topological open string theory called the Poisson sigma model. The reduced phase space of this topological theory is (a singular version of) the symplectic groupoid of the Poisson manifold.

Our research concentrates on studying the relation between Kontsevich's formula and the quantization of the symplectic groupoid, on other applications of the Poisson sigma model, on the problem of the quantization of Poisson morphisms, on the quantization of Lie bialgebroids, and on the integration of twisted Poisson structures.
