Abstract

In this talk we will review various point-of-views on classical Chern-Simons theory and moduli of flat connections. We will explain how derived symplectic geomletry (after Pantev-Toën-Vaquié-Vezzosi) somehow reconciles all of these. If time permits, we will discuss a bit the quantization problem.
