Preface
Geometric concepts often play an essential role in obtaining a profound under-
standing of many areas of analysis and mechanics, for instance, in the theory
of Fourier integral operators and in (semi)classical mechanics. This interaction
between geometry and analysis or mechanics is a very dominant and also unifying
theme in the publications of Hans Duistermaat. At the occasion
