We study the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on symplectic manifolds making use of the full off-diagonal asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel. We give also a characterization of Toeplitz operators in terms of their asymptotic expansion. The semi-classical limit properties of the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization for non-compact manifolds and orbifolds are also established.
We establish the theory of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on symplectic manifolds of bounded geometry. The quantum space of this quantization is the spectral subspace of the renormalized Bochner Laplacian associated with some interval near zero. We show that this quantization has the correct semiclassical limit.
In this paper, we will provide a review of the geometric construction, proposed by Witten, of the SU(n) quantum representations of the mapping class groups which are part of the Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT for the quantum group U_q(sl(n, C)). In particular, we recall the differential geometric construction of Hitchins projectively flat connection in the bundle over Teichmuller space obtained by push-forward of the determinant line bundle over the moduli space of rank n, fixed determinant, semi-stable bundles fibering over Teichmuller space. We recall the relation between the Hitchin connection and Toeplitz operators which was first used by the first named author to prove the asymptotic faithfulness of the SU(n) quantum representations of the mapping class groups. We further review the construction of the formal Hitchin connection, and we discuss its relation to the full asymptotic expansion of the curve operators of Topological Quantum Field Theory. We then go on to identifying the first terms in the formal parallel transport of the Hitchin connection explicitly. This allows us to identify the first terms in the resulting star product on functions on the moduli space. This is seen to agree with the first term in the star product on holonomy functions on these moduli spaces defined by Andersen, Mattes and Reshetikhin.
We study the Bochner-Schrodinger operator $H_{p}=frac 1pDelta^{L^potimes E}+V$ on high tensor powers of a positive line bundle $L$ on a symplectic manifold of bounded geometry. First, we give a rough asymptotic description of its spectrum in terms of the spectra of the model operators. This allows us to prove the existence of gaps in the spectrum under some conditions on the curvature of the line bundle. Then we consider the spectral projection of such an operator corresponding to an interval whose extreme points are not in the spectrum and study asymptotic behavior of its kernel. First, we establish the off-diagonal exponential estimate. Then we state a complete asymptotic expansion in a fixed neighborhood of the diagonal.
We extend profound results in pluripotential theory on Kahler manifolds to Sasaki setting via its transverse Kahler structure. As in Kahler case, these results form a very important piece to solve the existence of Sasaki metrics with constant scalar curvature (cscs) in terms of properness of K-energy. One main result is to generalize T. Darvas theory on the geometric structure of the space of Kahler potentials in Sasaki setting. Along the way we extend most of corresponding results in pluripotential theory to Sasaki setting via its transverse Kahler structure.
In this article, we consider a gauge-theoretic equation on compact symplectic 6-manifolds, which forms an elliptic system after gauge fixing. This can be thought of as a higher-dimensional analogue of the Seiberg-Witten equation. By using the virtual neighbourhood method by Ruan, we define an integer-valued invariant, a 6-dimensional Seiberg-Witten invariant, from the moduli space of solutions to the equations, assuming that the moduli space is compact; and it has no reducible solutions. We prove that the moduli spaces are compact if the underlying manifold is a compact Kahler threefold. We then compute the integers in some cases.
