DESCRIPTION:Title: Geometry and quantization of Poisson Fano manifolds\n\nA
 bstract: Complex Poisson manifolds and the noncommutative algebras that 'q
 uantize' them appear in many parts of mathematics\, but their structure an
 d classification remain quite mysterious\, especially in the positively cu
 rved case of Fano manifolds.  I will survey recent breakthroughs on severa
 l foundational conjectures in this area\, which were formulated by Artin\,
  Bondal\, Kontsevich and others in the 80s and 90s.  For instance\, we wil
 l see that the curvature of a Poisson manifold has a strong effect on the 
 singularities of its associated foliation\, and that the remarkable transc
 endental numbers known as multiple zeta values arise naturally as universa
 l constants in the corresponding quantum algebras.\n
