Almost complex structures and geometric quantization

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study two quantization schemes for compact symplectic manifolds with almost complex structures. The first of these is the Spin-c quantization. We prove the analog of Kodaira vanishing for the Spin-c Dirac operator, which shows that the index space of this operator provides an honest (not virtual) vector space semiclassically. We also introduce a new quantization scheme, based on a rescaled Laplacian, for which we are able to prove strong semiclassical properties. The two quantizations are shown to be close semiclassically.


The authors consider triples \((X,\omega,J)\) where \(X\) is a compact manifold, \(\omega\) is a symplectic structure and \(J\) is an almost complex structure on \(X\). For this situation a quantization scheme, called ``almost Kähler quantization, is developed. The basic idea is to construct the quantum Hilbert space as the span of the eigenfunctions of a rescaled Laplacian operator. The semiclassical properties of this quantization scheme is discussed and comparison is made to the \(\text{Spin}^c\) quantization scheme.
