Abstract: We introduce the notion of an isotropic quantum state associated with a Bohr-Sommerfeld manifold in the context of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of general prequantized symplectic manifolds, and we study its semi-classical properties using the off-diagonal expansion of the Bergman kernel. We then show how these results extend to the case of non-compact orbifolds, and give an application to relative Poincar'e series in the theory of automorphic forms.


The paper under review uses the theory of the generalized Bergman kernel of Ma and Marinescu to study the semiclassical properties of Bohr-Sommerfeld submanifolds in the context of the almost holomorphic quantization. The expected behavior of a quantum state in the semiclassical limit is to rapidly localize around the corresponding classical object and the present proposition 3.5 proves that the isotropic states indeed concentrate around the associated Bohr-Sommerfeld submanifold when \(p\rightarrow +\infty\). The main tools in this work are the Berezin-Toeplitz operators for the generalized Bergman kernel on symplectic manifolds and a \(J\)-invariant Riemannian metric \(g^{TX}\) on \(TX\). Here, \((X, \omega )\) is a compact, \(2n\)-dimensional symplectic manifold, \(J\) is an almost complex structure compatible with \(\omega \) and \(p\in \mathbb{N}^{+}\).
