Geometric quantization, complex structures and the coherent state transform (Q1779204)

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)].
