Abstract: The group SU(2)*SU(2) acts naturally on SL(2,C) by simultaneous right and left multiplication. We study the Kahler metrics invariant under this action using global Kahler potentials. The volume growth and various curvature quantities are then explicitly computable. Examples include metrics of positive, negative and zero Ricci curvature, and the 1-lump metric of the CP^1-model on a sphere. We then look at the holomorphic quantization of these metrics, where some physically satisfactory results on the dimension of the Hilbert space can be obtained. These give rise to an interesting geometrical conjecture, regarding the dimension of this space for general Stein manifolds in the semi-classical limit.

Review text

This article consists of two parts: The first part is concerned with special Kähler metrics on \(\text{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})=:M\) as a group manifold, which are invariant for a group action of \(G=\text{SU}(2)\times\text{SU}(2)\) on \(M\) given by left and right action of SU\((2)\) on \(\text{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})\). The author constructs these Kähler metrics using a composite map \(f\circ y\) of \(C^\infty\)-function \(y: M \to [0, \infty[\), \((y(A) = \cosh(\frac{1}{2}\text{rm}(A^\dagger A))\) and a \(C^\infty\)-function \(f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\). For the metrics, he studies their related curvatures, volume forms, integrations and lump-metrics which are connected with topological solitons over \(M\). In the second part, he investigates the holomorphic quantization in terms of these geometrical objects and obtains a Hilbert space. It is shown that a subspace of the Hilbert space behaves well for a classical limit; a volume element in the subspace becomes one over the configuration space \(M\). If \(M\) is not compact, the author gives a conjecture on holomorphic quantization for general Stein manifolds in the classical limit.
