Foreword

Over fiftee n year s hav e passe d sinc e Feli x Alexandrovic h Berezi n died . Man y things hav e change d sinc e then , an d lif e toda y i s ver y differen t fro m wha t i t wa s at tha t time . Berezi n wa s amon g thos e wh o mos t ardentl y strive d fo r changes ; unfortunately, h e lived neithe r t o se e the da y whe n hi s ideas an d wor k ha d becom e popular an d widel y accepted , no r t o work i n a period whe n scientifi c contact s wit h friends an d colleagues dispersed i n the world at larg e had become routinely possible .

The editor s o f this collection , wh o knew F . A . Berezin ver y closely , have calle d on al l thos e wh o hav e worke d wit h hi m a t on e tim e o r another , studie d unde r hi s supervision, develope d hi s ideas, were his friends o r simply wante d t o be one of th e authors o f a volume devote d t o th e memor y o f this outstandin g scientist . Th e ide a of suc h a publicatio n attracte d man y mathematician s an d physicists . Th e resul t of thei r wor k i s collecte d i n tw o volume s o f th e presen t series , whic h represen t a wide spectru m o f topic s i n mathematica l physics—F . A . Berezin' s mai n are a o f research—and relate d branche s o f mathematics .

In discussing F . A. Berezin's scientific heritage , one should begi n by mentioning his two most significan t achievements : quantizatio n theor y an d supermathematics . But hi s nam e live s o n i n representatio n theory , statistica l physics , operato r the -ory, an d th e geometr y o f homogeneous spaces . Hi s paper s ar e remarkabl e b y thei r breadth o f insigh t an d thei r conceptua l character . W e ar e no w witnesse s o f th e powerful developmen t o f Berezin' s quantizatio n an d Berezin' s Grassmannia n anal -ysis (supermathematics) . Bu t t o a n observe r fro m th e outside , th e influenc e tha t Berezin exerte d o n mathematician s an d physicist s ma y perhap s no t b e to o obvi -ous, mor e precisely , th e rol e tha t h e playe d i n makin g physic s popula r amon g mathematicians an d mathematic s amon g physicists .

In thi s volume , th e first o f two , w e hav e assemble d paper s i n grou p represen -tation theor y an d severa l mathematica l paper s i n supermathematic s an d spectra l analysis.

It wa s no t eas y t o organiz e th e interactio n o f suc h a grou p o f mathemati -cians, disperse d i n man y citie s an d countries ; al l th e organizationa l an d technica l tasks involve d i n th e preparatio n o f thi s volum e wer e successfull y carrie d ou t b y N. D . Vvedenskaya , t o who m th e editor s expres s thei r gratitude .

We hop e tha t thi s volum e wil l expres s ou r dee p respec t fo r th e memor y o f F. A . Berezi n an d wil l promote hi s work an d ideas .
