Abstract: It is known that a compact symplectic manifold endowed with a prequantum line bundle can be embedded in the projective space generated by the eigensections of low energy of the Bochner Laplacian acting on high p-tensor powers of the prequantum line bundle. We show that the Fubini-Study forms induced by these embeddings converge at speed rate 1/p2 to the symplectic form. This result implies the generalization to the almost-K"ahler case of the lower bounds on the Calabi functional given by Donaldson for K"ahler manifolds, as shown by Lejmi and Keller.


Let \((X,\omega)\) be a compact Kähler manifold and \((L,h^L)\) be a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle on \(X\) such that \(\omega=\frac{i}{2\pi}R^L\). Let \(\omega_p:=\frac{1}{p}\Phi_p^\star(\omega_{FS})\), where \(\Phi_p:X\to\mathbb P(H^0(X,L^p)^\star)\) is the Kodaira map determined by \(L^p:=L^{\otimes p}\). Then for \(p\) large \(\omega_p\) is a Kähler form on \(X\) and a theorem of \textit{G. Tian} [J. Differ. Geom. 32, No. 1, 99--130 (1990; Zbl 0706.53036)] states that \(\omega_p\to\omega\) as \(p\to\infty\) in the \(C^2\) topology with speed rate \(p^{-1/2}\). Using the full asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel it was subsequently shown that the convergence holds in the \(C^\infty\) topology and the optimal speed rate is \(p^{-2}\). The paper under review proves the corresponding result in the case of a Hermitian line bundle \((L,h^L)\) on a compact symplectic manifold \((X,\omega)\), such that \(\omega=\frac{i}{2\pi}R^L\), where \(R^L\) is the curvature of a Hermitian connection \(\nabla^L\) on \((L,h^L)\). Let \(J\) be an almost complex structure on \(TX\) such that \(g^{TX}(\cdot,\cdot):=\omega(\cdot,J\cdot)\) is a \(J\)-invariant Riemannian metric on \(TX\). The previously used space of holomorphic sections \(H^0(X,L^p)\) is now replaced by the space \(\mathcal H_p\) of bound states of the renormalized Bochner Laplacian \(\Delta_{p,\Phi}\) associated to \(g^{TX}\), \(\nabla^L\) and a smooth function \(\Phi\in C^\infty(X,\mathbb R)\). If \(\Phi_p\) is the Kodaira map defined by \(\mathcal H_p\), the authors show that \(\frac{1}{p}\Phi_p^\star(\omega_{FS})\to\omega\) as \(p\to\infty\) in the \(C^\infty\) topology with optimal speed rate \(p^{-2}\).
