International School-Conference
GEOMETRY and QUANTIZATION

Traditional school-conference "Geometry and Quantization" organized in cooperation by Steklov Mathematical Institute (Moscow, Russia), Luxembourg University, Nagoya University (Japan), Chineese Academy of Sciences (Mathematical Institute in Beijing and Chern Institute in Tianjing), and other institutions depending on the conference site.

The school-conference GEOQUANT takes place every two years:
2005 — Japan (Tokyo and Nagoya),
2007 — Moscow (Steklov Institute, http://geoquant2007.mi.ras.ru),
2009 — Luxembourg (University of Luxembourg, http://math.uni.lu/geoquant),
2011 — China (Beijing and Tianjing, http://www.cim.nankai.edu.cn/activites/conferences/hy20110912/index.htm, http://www.math.ac.cn/mathphy2011/Aboutus.html).

The scope of the conference includes mathematical problems of quantization, classical and quantum field theory, questions of the complex, algebraic and symplectic geometry, topology, Lie theory, representation theory, noncommutative geometry, theory of moduli spaces, relation to contemporary theoretical physics.

Traditionally, the duration of the school-conference is two weeks. The first is devoted to the school for yung mathematicians and physicists. where well-known mathematicians deliver mini-courses consisting of 2–3 lectures on subjects in the scope of the conference.

The second week is devoted to the conference "Geometric quantization and related topics".

The program of the conference consists of 45–60-min and 30-min talks.

The next, fifth school-conference GEOQUANT will take place in August 19-30, 2013, in Vienna, on the base of the Erwin Schroedinger Institute (August 19-24 - the School, August 26-30 - the Conference)
