Quantization of multiply connected manifolds (Q2569130)

It is well-known that the Berezin-Toeplitz geometric quantization of a compact Kähler manifold is restricted by integrability conditions. This restriction can be circumvented by passing to the universal covering space, provided that the lift of the symplectic form is exact. The author relates this construction to the Baum-Connes assembly map and proves that it gives a strict quantization of the original manifold. For the higher genus Riemann surfaces, this quantization is closely related to (if not the same as) that of \textit{T. Natsume} and \textit{R. Nest} [Commun. Math. Phys. 202, 65--87 (1999; Zbl 0961.46042)] and for the two-torus, it results in the family of rotation \(C^*\)-algebras. The construction involves twisted group \(C^*\)-algebras of the fundamental group which are determined by a group cocycle defined by the symplectic form and quantization bundles with Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules as fibers.
