Geometric Quantization and Applications to Fields and Fluids

Geometric Quantization and Applications to Fields and Fluids

Geometric Quantization; Coherent States; Topological Features of Quantization; Chern-Simons Theory; Anomalies in Fluids; Chiral Magnetic Effect; Quantum Hall Effect; Theta Vacuum

This open access book explains geometric quantization from a physicist’s perspective. After presenting the general formalism, it delves into several examples reflecting current research interests in high-energy physics and condensed matter physics. Applications explore Chern-Simons theory, theta vacuum, the Hall effect, fluid dynamics, and elements of noncommutative geometry. The content is tailored to appeal to researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in high-energy physics, particle physics, and mathematical physics. A background in differential geometry and group theory is beneficial for a comprehensive understanding of the discussions.
