Geometric quantization, complex structures and the coherent state transform

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: It is shown that the heat operator in the Hall coherent state transform for a compact Lie group K is related with a Hermitian connection associated to a natural one-parameter family of complex structures on T∗K. The unitary parallel transport of this connection establishes the equivalence of (geometric) quantizations of T∗K for different choices of complex structures within the given family. In particular, these results establish a link between coherent state transforms for Lie groups and results of Hitchin and Axelrod, Della Pietra and Witten.


The authors relate the appearance of the heat operator in the Hall coherent state transform for a compact connected Lie group \(K\) with a Hermitian connection associated to a one-parameter family of complex structures on the cotangent bundle \(T^*K.\) The unitary parallel transport of this connection gives the equivalence of the geometric quantization of \(T^*K\) for different choices of complex structure within the given family. The results obtained establish a link between the coherent state transforms for Lie groups and the Chern-Simons theories, see [\textit{N. Hitchin}, Commun. Math. Phys. 131, No. 2, 347--380 (1990; Zbl 0718.53021)] and [\textit{S.~Axelrod, S.~Della Pietra} and \textit{E.~Witten}, J. Differ. Geom. 33, No. 3, 787--902 (1991; Zbl 0697.53061)].
