We show that thick morphisms (or microformal morphisms) between smooth (super)manifolds, introduced by us before, are classical limits of 'quantum thick morphisms' defined here as particular oscillatory integral operators on func- tions. In (3, 4) we introduced nonlinear pullbacks of functions with respect to 'micro- formal' or 'thick' morphisms of (super)manifolds, which generalize ordinary smooth maps. By definition, such a morphism is a formal canonical relation between the cotangent bundles…

We extend the category of (super)manifolds and their smooth mappings by introducing a notion of microformal, or “thick,” morphisms. They are formal canonical relations of a special form, constructed
Tangent functor on microformal morphisms
We show how the tangent functor extends naturally from ordinary smooth maps to "microformal" (or "thick") morphisms of supermanifolds, a notion that we introduced earlier. Microformal morphisms
The "nonlinear pullback" of functions and a formal category extending the category of supermanifolds
We introduce mappings between function spaces on smooth (super)manifolds, which are generally nonlinear and which generalize the pullbacks with respect to smooth maps. The construction uses canonical
Non-linear homomorphisms of algebras of functions are induced by thick morphisms.
In 2014, Voronov introduced the notion of thick morphisms of (super)manifolds as a tool for constructing $L_{\infty}$-morphisms of homotopy Poisson algebras. Thick morphisms generalise ordinary
Quantum microformal morphisms of supermanifolds: an explicit formula and further properties
We give an explicit formula, as a formal differential operator, for quantum microformal morphisms of (super)manifolds that we introduced earlier. Such quantum microformal morphisms are essentially
Graded Geometry, Q‐Manifolds, and Microformal Geometry
We give an exposition of graded and microformal geometry, and the language of Q‐manifolds. Q‐manifolds are supermanifolds endowed with an odd vector field of square zero. They can be seen as a

. We inv estigate the quantization problem of ( − 1) -shifted derived Poisson manifolds in terms of BV ∞ -operators on the space of Berezinian half-densities. We prove that quantizing such a ( − 1)

There are a number of excellent texts available on semi-classical analysis. The focus of the present monograph, however, is an aspect of the subject somewhat less systematically developed in other
Symplectic microgeometry I: micromorphisms
• Mathematics
• 2009
We introduce the notion of symplectic microfolds and symplectic micromorphisms between them. They form a symmetric monoidal category, which is a version of the “category” of symplectic manifolds and
