ANR-DFG Project QuaSiDy: Quantization, Singularities, and Holomorphic Dynamics

Together with Judith Brinkschulte, Ursula Ludwig, George Marinescu, and Jean Ruppenthal on the German side, and Christian Miebach and many more colleagues on the French side, we successfully applied for a joint ANR-DFG project.
