    The author treats geometric quantization of a family of perturbed Keplerian problems, all living on co-adjoint orbits of SU(2,2), such as the motion of a charged particle in the asymptotic field of BPS (Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield) monopole with a Higgs field. To do this the author employs representation theory. The author reviews some of the salient features of the classical problems, in particular, a transitive symplectic action of the conformal group on the negative energy manifold. The associated co-adjoint orbits are singular, elliptic and pseudo-Kähler symmetric. Then moving on to the quantum domain the author finds that for the perturbed problem there is a polarization invariant under the conformal group, and, therefore, the representation theory of SU(2,2) can be used.
