Mathematical Quantization

By Nik Weaver

With a unique approach and presenting an array of intriguing topics, Mathematical Quantization explores operator algebras. The first half of the book quickly builds the operator algebra setting. The author then uses this as a unifying theme in the second half, in which he treats several "hot" research topics, some for the first time in book form. These include the Moyal plane, compact quantum groups, operator spaces, and operator modules. For graduate students, this book offers an ideal introduction to a large area of active research and for professionals in operator algebras and functional analysis, it provides a readable tour of the field.
