Review text

The first goal of these lectures is to describe what is known about the quantization problem for reductive Lie groups, and the extent to which its resolution can lead to all unitary irreducible representations. It is explained that the quantization problem comes down to a finite set of coadjoint orbits for each reductive group: the nilpotent orbits. The second goal of the lectures is to describe a new method for studying the quantization of nilpotent coadjoint orbits in terms of the restriction to a maximal compact subgroup. Here the author's intention is to show that the problem of quantizing a particular nilpotent orbit can often be reduced to a finite amount of linear algebra. The contents of the lectures is as follows: Lecture 1. Some ideas from mathematical physics. Lecture 2. The Jordan decomposition and three kinds of quantization. Lecture 3. Complex polarizations. Lecture 4. The Kostant--Sekiguchi correspondence. Lecture 5. Quantizing the action of \(K\). Lecture 6. Associated graded modules. Lecture 7. A good basis for associated graded modules. Lecture 8. Proving unitarity. The last, 9th section contains exercises. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0936.00032].
