Partial coherent state transforms, $G times T$-invariant Kahler structures and geometric quantization of cotangent bundles of compact Lie groups


Abstract in English

In this paper, we study the analytic continuation to complex time of the Hamiltonian flow of certain $Gtimes T$-invariant functions on the cotangent bundle of a compact connected Lie group $G$ with maximal torus $T$. Namely, we will take the Hamiltonian flows of one $Gtimes G$-invariant function, $h$, and one $Gtimes T$-invariant function, $f$. Acting with these complex time Hamiltonian flows on $Gtimes G$-invariant Kahler structures gives new $Gtimes T$-invariant, but not $Gtimes G$-invariant, Kahler structures on $T^*G$. We study the Hilbert spaces ${mathcal H}_{tau,sigma}$ corresponding to the quantization of $T^*G$ with respect to these non-invariant Kahler structures. On the other hand, by taking the vertical Schrodinger polarization as a starting point, the above $Gtimes T$-invariant Hamiltonian flows also generate families of mixed polarizations $mathcal{P}_{0,sigma}, sigma in {mathbb C}, {rm Im}(sigma) >0$. Each of these mixed polarizations is globally given by a direct sum of an integrable real distribution and of a complex distribution that defines a Kahler structure on the leaves of a foliation of $T^*G$. The geometric quantization of $T^*G$ with respect to these mixed polarizations gives rise to unitary partial coherent state transforms, corresponding to KSH maps as defined in [KMN1,KMN2].
