In physics, usually quantization means canonical quantization. i.e., which we treat classical objects to quantum operators. i.e., For the association $Q:f \mapsto \hat{f}$ from functions on the classical space of states to operators on quantum states: $$[Q(f), Q(g)] = -i\hbar Q(\{f,g\})$$ where $[-,-]$ is the commutator of linear maps and $\{-,-\}$ is the Poisson bracket.

In terms of mathematics (or mathematical physics society) the quantization can be split into three subjects:

  1. Deformation quantization,

  2. Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism, and

  3. Geometric quantization.

Can anyone give me a nice explanation of the difference between this three quantizationthree quantizations? What are the similaritysimilarities and differences between them?

Naively, I noticed quantization is related to Hamiltonian and so Symplecticsymplectic geometry but not have much deeper thoughts on this topic.

Basic question in similarities and difference on quantizations

In physics, usually quantization means canonical quantization. i.e., which we treat classical objects to quantum operators. i.e., For the association $Q:f \mapsto \hat{f}$ from functions on the classical space of states to operators on quantum states : $[Q(f), Q(g)] = -i\hbar Q(\{f,g\})$ where $[-,-]$ is the commutator of linear maps and $\{-,-\}$ is the Poisson bracket.

In terms of mathematics (or mathematical physics society) the quantization can be split into three subjects : (1) Deformation quantization, (2) BV formalism, and (3) Geometric quantization.
