A symplectic fibration is a fibre bundle in the symplectic category (a bundle of symplectic fibres over a symplectic base with a symplectic structure group). We find the relation between the deformation quantization of the base and the fibre, and that of the total space. We consider Fedosov's construction of deformation quantization. We generalize the Fedosov construction to the quantization with values in a bundle of algebras. We find that the characteristic class of deformation of a symplectic fibration is the weak coupling form of Guillemin, Lerman, and Sternberg. We also prove that the classical moment map could be quantized if there exists an equivariant connection.

We prove that the Hessian matrix of the real period function ψ(λ) associated with the real versal deformation fλ(x)=±x4+λ2x2+λ1x+λ0 of a singularity of type A3, is nondegenerate, provided that λ∈${\Bbb R}$3 does not belong to the discriminant set of the singularity. We explain the relation between this result and the perturbations of the spherical pendulum.

Working over the complex numbers, we study curves lying in a complete intersection K3 surface contained in a (nodal) complete intersection Calabi–Yau threefold. Under certain generality assumptions, we show that the linear system of curves in the surface is a connected componend of the the Hilbert scheme of the threefold. In the case of genus one, we deduce the existence of infinitesimally rigid embeddings of elliptic curves of arbitrary degree in the general complete intersection Calabi–Yau threefold.

Let L be an ample line bundle on a Kähler manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature with K as the canonical line bundle. We give an estimate of m such that K+mL is very ample in terms of the injectivity radius. This implies that m can be chosen arbitrarily small once we go deep enough into a tower of covering of the manifold. The same argument gives an effective Kodaira Embedding Theorem for compact Kähler manifolds in terms of sectional curvature and the injectivity radius. In case of locally Hermitian symmetric space of noncompact type or if the sectional curvature is strictly negative, we prove that K itself is very ample on a large covering of the manifold.

We prove Sturmfels' conjecture that toric varieties of codimension two have no other flat deformations than those obtained by Gröbner basis theory.
