An Introduction to Covariant Quantum Mechanics

lt;p>Josef Janyska received his PhD in Geometry in 1984 from Charles University in Prague. From 1983 to 1991 he completed several study stays at the St. Petersburg University, the Lomonosov Moscow State University and the University of Florence. Since 1978he worked at Masaryk University in Brno, first as an assistant professor and from 1988 as an associate professor. Since 2007 he is full Professor of Mathematics-Geometry at the Masaryk University in Brno. His primary research interests include the theory of natural and gauge-natural bundles and applications of di erential geometric methods in theoretical physics.

Marco Modugno received his degree in Physics at University of Florence in 1966. Full professor of Mathematical Physics at Lecce University (1975-1979) and at Florence University (1979-2013). Currently, emeritus professor. Chief Editor of the "Journal of Geometry and Physics" (1982-2003), Editor of the Journal "Di erential Geometry and its Applications" (1992-2016). Coordinator of the research group "Geometry and Physics" at University of Florence (1980-2013). His primary research interests deal with geometric approach to Mathematical Physics including General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
