Budeme se zabývat diferenciálně geometrickými aspekty symplektické a Poissonovy geometrie. Zavedeme
hamiltonovská vektorová pole, Marsden-Weinsteinovu redukci a Poissonovu kohomologii. Mezi hlavní cíle kurzu
patří Fedosovova konstrukce symplektických star-součinů, která vede k definici deformačního kvantování, jež lze
studovat na libovolné symplektické varietě.

After reviewing the basics of differential geometry, smooth manifolds, vector bundles, Cartan calculus, we discuss symplectic and Poisson manifolds. These are manifolds together with a (nondegenerate) Poisson bivector and this additional structure allows us to consider Poisson cohomology, Hamiltonian and Poisson vector fields. From a physical point of view, symplectic manifolds admit an interpretation in the context of Hamiltonian mechanics. We further describe a phase space reduction in terms of Marsden-Weinstein reduction and discuss a Lie algebroid interpretation of Poisson manifolds. In the second half of the course, we study deformation quantization, particularly of symplectic manifolds. The goal is to give a full proof of the celebrated Fedosov construction of star products for arbitrary symplectic manifolds. Poslední úprava: Weber Thomas, Ph.D. (31.01.2026)

The final exam consists of a seminar talk of about 45 minutes, presented by the participant. For this, a number of possible seminar topics will be given at the end of the course. The material will be based on the content of the course and is meant to extend the discussed material. For interested students there might be the possibility to continue the course project in form of a master thesis. Poslední úprava: Weber Thomas, Ph.D. (02.02.2025)
