<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<br><br>Anton Khoroshkin (Higher School of Economics, Moscow) will give a lecture series on<br><br>"Around Deformation quantization".<br><br>Abstract: First, I will explain two different proofs of the existence of deformation quantization of the functions on the Poisson manifold due to M.Kontsevich and D.Tamarkin. Second I will explain the complexity of this problem and the equivalence of this two proofs. Third, I will introduce the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group and its action on the set of quantizations. Finally, I will translate everything to the language of operads and state the known and open questions around. The talk is based on the works of Kontsevich, Tamarkin and Willwacher and their collaborators.<br><br>The lectures will take place on Thursday (06.12.2018) and Friday (07.12.2018), at 17:30 at the Istanbul Center for Mathematical Sciences (IMBM). Please find the poster of the lectures attached.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Ilmar Gahramanov<div class="gmail_quote">
