Lectures on the Geometry of Quantization
by Sean Bates, Alan Weinstein
Publisher: University of California at Berkeley 1997
ISBN/ASIN: 0821807986
ISBN-13: 9780821807989
Number of pages: 134
Description:
This is an introduction to the ideas of microlocal analysis and the related symplectic geometry, with an emphasis on the role which these ideas play in formalizing the transition between the mathematics of classical dynamics (hamiltonian flows on symplectic manifolds) and that of quantum mechanics (unitary flows on Hilbert spaces).

Introduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski Space
by Shahn Majid - arXiv
Systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of Rn in which the coordinates xi have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's braided-approach to q-deformation.

Edinburgh Lectures on Geometry, Analysis and Physics
by Michael Atiyah - arXiv
These notes are based on a set of six lectures that the author gave in Edinburgh and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and they may stimulate readers to investigate them.

Geometry of Quantum Mechanics
by Ingemar Bengtsson - Stockholms universitet, Fysikum
These are the lecture notes from a graduate course in the geometry of quantum mechanics. The idea was to introduce the mathematics in its own right, but not to introduce anything that is not directly relevant to the subject.
