From D-modules to Deformation Quantization Modulesby Pierre Schapira - UPMC
The aim of these lecture notes is first to introduce the reader to the theory of D-modules in the analytical setting and also to make a link with the theory of deformation quantization (DQ for short) in the complex setting.
