Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms and the Berry phase (Q5959627): Difference between revisions

It is well known that in the process of quantization of a symplectic quantizable manifold \( (M, \omega) \) it is necessary to fix a polarization \( F \) and then the corresponding Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} _{F} \) is built from the space of the sections of the prequantum bundle \( L \) which are parallel along the leaves of the polarization \( F \). The identification of the \( \mathcal{H} _{F} \) obtained by fixing different polarizations is one of the goals of the geometric quantization. The problem is still open and known only some partial results and examples. For instance this is the case when \( M \) is the moduli space of flat connections on a closed surface, or the case when the polarizations are of Kähler type. The author adds a new example at this list. Let \( \{ \Psi _t \mid t \in [0,1] \} \) be a Hamiltonian isotopy of \( M \) and \( F \) a polarization on \( M \). Then we have in a canonical manner a family of polarizations \( F _t \) on \( M \) via \( F \) and \( \{ \Psi _t \mid t \in [0,1] \} \). The author proves that \( \mathcal{H} _{F _t} \) is isometric with \( \mathcal{H} _F \) for each \( t \in [0,1] \). A nice connection with Berry phase is also pointed out.
