DESCRIPTION:Title: Multiple zeta values in deformation quantization\n\nAbst
 ract: The subject of 'deformation quantization' originated as a mathematic
 al abstraction of the passage from classical to quantum mechanics: startin
 g from a classical phase space (i.e. a Poisson manifold)\, we deform the o
 rdinary multiplication of functions to produce a noncommutative ring\, whi
 ch serves as the algebra of quantum observables.  Over the years\, the the
 ory has evolved from its physical origins to take on a mathematical life o
 f its own\, with rich connections to representation theory\, topology\, gr
 aph theory\, number theory and more.  I will give an introduction to the s
 ubject and explain how the quantization process is inextricably linked\, v
 ia a formula of Kontsevich\, to special values of the Riemann zeta functio
 n\, and their generalizations known as multiple zeta values.\n
