Geometric quantization for proper moment maps: the Vergne conjecture

Geometric Quantization for Proper Moment Maps

We establish a geometric quantization formula for Hamiltonian actions of a compact Lie group acting on a non-compact symplectic manifold such that the associated moment map is proper. In particular, we resolve the conjecture of Vergne in this non-compact setting. 0. Introduction The famous geometric quantization conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg [9] states that for a compact pre-quantizable...

Geometric Quantization for Proper Actions

We first introduce an invariant index for G-equivariant elliptic differential operators on a locally compact manifold M admitting a proper cocompact action of a locally compact group G. It generalizes the Kawasaki index for orbifolds to the case of proper cocompact actions. Our invariant index is used to show that an analog of the Guillemin-Sternberg geometric quantization conjecture holds if M...

Geometric Quantization on the Superdisc

In this article we discuss the geometric quantization on a certain type of infinite dimensional super-disc. Such systems are quite natural when we analyze coupled bosons and fermions. The large-N limit of a system like that corresponds to a certain super-homogeneous space. First, we define an example of a superhomogeneous manifold: a super-disc. We show that it has a natural symplectic form, it...
