Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 04 Apr 2024).

Differentiable manifolds -- Lie groups and coadjoint orbits -- Quantization of symplectic manifolds -- Quantum spaces and matrix geometry -- Covariant quantum spaces -- Noncommutative field theory -- Yang-Mills matrix models and quantum spaces -- Fuzzy extra dimensions -- Geometry and dynamics in Yang-Mills matrix models -- Higher-spin gauge theory on quantum spacetime -- Matrix theory : maximally supersymmetric matrix models -- Gravity as a quantum effect on quantum spacetime -- Matrix quantum mechanics and the BFSS model.

Building on mathematical structures familiar from quantum mechanics, this book provides an introduction to quantization in a broad context before developing a framework for quantum geometry in Matrix Theory and string theory. Taking a physics-oriented approach to quantum geometry, this framework helps explain the physics of Yang-Mills-type matrix models, leading to a quantum theory of space-time and matter. This novel framework is then applied to Matrix Theory, which is defined through distinguished maximally supersymmetric matrix models related to string theory. A mechanism for gravity is discussed in depth, which emerges as a quantum effect on quantum space-time within Matrix Theory. Using explicit examples and exercises, readers will develop a physical intuition for the mathematical concepts and mechanisms. It will benefit advanced students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics, and is a useful resource for physicists and mathematicians interested in the geometrical aspects of quantization in a broader context.
