Category:Mathematical quantization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathematical quantization deals with abstract mathematical formulations that attempt to describe the process of quantizing classical Hamiltonian and Lagrangian systems, and in particular, quantizing line bundles that are defined on symplectic manifolds. Mathematical quantization uses the modern mathematics techniques of differential geometry to accomplish this task.
A different approach to quantization, not based on Hamiltonian mechanics, is seen through the quantization of algebraic groups, such as by Hopf algebras, the Virasoro algebra and the Kac-Moody algebra. The result of quantization leads to the study of non-commutative geometry.
A version of quantization for functions is q-analogs.
