Abstract: We introduce a method of geometric quantization for compact $b$-symplectic manifolds in terms of the index of an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) boundary value problem. We show further that b-symplectic manifolds have canonical Spin-c structures in the usual sense, and that the APS index above coincides with the index of the Spin-c Dirac operator. We show that if the manifold is endowed with a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group with non-zero modular weights, then this method satisfies the Guillemin-Sternberg ``quantization commutes with reduction property. In particular our quantization coincides with the formal quantization defined by Guillemin, Miranda and Weitsman, providing a positive answer to a question posed in their paper.

Review text

A \(b\)-symplectic or log symplectic structure \((M, \omega )\) consists in a manifold \(M\) endowed with a ``symplectic form \(\omega \) allowed to have a pole along a hypersurface \(Z\subset M\). Firstly, the authors construct a compact manifold \(M_{\varepsilon }\) with boundary, by cutting near the hypersurface \(Z\), and the boundary is diffeomorphic to two copies of \(Z\). If \(L\rightarrow M\) is a prequantum line bundle over \(M\) then the Dolbeault-Dirac operator is Fredholm and its index is independent of the cutting. A main result is that this Fredholm index equals the Fredholm index of a \(\mathrm{Spin} ^c\)-Dirac operator. A conjecture of type ``quantization commutes with reduction is carefully studied.
