Coisotropic submanifolds in Poisson geometry and branes in the Poisson sigma model. (English) Zbl 1065.53063
The paper under review is divided into six sections. Section 1 is a short introduction where the authors fix the picture of the paper. Section 2 describes the role of coisotropic submanifolds in Poisson geometry. Section 3 deals with the role of branes in a Poisson sigma model. The quantization problem makes the object of section 4. Some examples are sketched in section 5 and finally Kontsevich’s formalism is discussed in section 6. In conclusion, a very nice paper.
