520 _aThis monograph draws on two traditions: the algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, and the geometric theory of classical mechanics. These are combined into a unified treatment of the theory of Poisson algebras and operator algebras, based on the duality between algebras of observables and pure state spaces with a transition probability. The theory of quantization and the classical limit is discussed from this perspective.
520 8 _aThis book should be accessible to mathematicians with some prior knowledge of classical and quantum mechanics, to mathematical physicists, and to theoretical physicists who have some background in functional analysis.
