Abstract: In the first part, we introduce some basic ideas and various recent mathematical developments about quantization that arises from quantum field theory and string theory. In the second part, we discuss several applications to geometry and topology. In particular, we present an effective quantization theory for 2d chiral field theories, and explain its connection with elliptic chiral homology of chiral algebras and index theory.
