Summary
From Classical to Quantum: A Geometric Journey
The geometric approach to quantization, pioneered by Kostant and Souriau over two decades ago, offers profound insights into the connection between classical and quantum systems, remaining a vibrant area of research.
Its influence extends beyond theoretical physics, proving valuable in pure mathematics, particularly in representation theory. Recent applications include conformal field theory and the Jones-Witten theory of knots.…
