Contents:
pt. 1. Poisson geometry and Morita equivalence -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Poisson geometry and some generalizations -- 3. Algebraic Morita equivalence -- 4. Geometric Morita equivalence -- 5. Geometric representation equivalence -- pt. 2. Formality and star products -- 1. Introduction -- 2. The star product -- 3. Rephrasing the main problem : the formality -- 4. Digression : what happens in the dual -- 5. The Kontsevich formula -- 6. From local to global deformation quantization -- pt. 3. Lie groupoids, sheaves and cohomology -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Lie groupoids -- 3. Sheaves on Lie groupoids -- 4. Sheaf cohomology -- 5. Compactly supported cohomology -- pt. 4. Geometric methods in representation theory.
Summary: Poisson geometry lies at the cusp of noncommutative algebra and differential geometry, with natural and important links to classical physics and quantum mechanics. This book presents an introduction to the subject from a small group of leading researchers, and the result is a volume accessible to graduate students or experts from other fields. The contributions are: Poisson Geometry and Morita Equivalence by Bursztyn and Weinstein; Formality and Star Products by Cattaneo; Lie Groupoids, Sheaves and Cohomology by Moerdijk and Mrcun; Geometric Methods in Representation Theory by Schmid; Deformation Theory: A Powerful Tool in Physics Modelling by Sternheimer.
