A unitary quantization commutes with reduction map for the adjoint action of a compact Lie group


Abstract in English

Let $K$ be a simply connected compact Lie group and $T^{ast}(K)$ its cotangent bundle. We consider the problem of quantization commutes with reduction for the adjoint action of $K$ on $T^{ast}(K).$ We quantize both $T^{ast}(K)$ and the reduced phase space using geometric quantization with half-forms. We then construct a geometrically natural map from the space of invariant elements in the quantization of $T^{ast}(K)$ to the quantization of the reduced phase space. We show that this map is a constant multiple of a unitary map.
