This book is a survey of the theory of formal deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds, in the formalism developed by Kontsevich. It is intended as an educational introduction for mathematical physicists who are dealing with the subject for the first time.

“The formality theorem gave deep insight into the homological algebra of smooth functions on a manifold. Many applications have grown out of this investigation, too many to mention here. … the author explains its implications together with its origins in the theory of quantization. This is a valuable contribution since the formulation of the statement requires some sophisticated preparation, which ... Read more
