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 give a differential geometric construction of a connection in the bundle of quantum Hilbert spaces arising from half-form corrected geometric quantization of a prequantizable, symplectic manifold, endowed with a rigid, family of Kahler structures, all of which give vanishing first Dolbeault cohomology groups. In [And1] Andersen gave an explicit construction of Hitchins connection in the non-corrected case using additional assumptions. Under the same assumptions we also give an explicit solution in terms of Ricci potentials. Morover we show that if these are carefully chosen the construction coincides with the construction of Andersen in the non-corrected case.
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 show that the (graded) spectral flow of a family of Toeplitz operators on a complete Riemannian manifold is equal to the index of a certain Callias-type operator. When the dimension of the manifold is even this leads to a cohomological formula for the spectral flow. As an application, we compute the spectral flow of a family of Toeplitz operators on a strongly pseudoconvex domain in $C^n$. This result is similar to the Boutet de Monvels computation of the index of a single Toeplitz operator on a strongly pseudoconvex domain. Finally, we show that the bulk-boundary correspondence in a tight-binding model of topological insulators is a special case of our result. In the appendix, Koen van den Dungen reviewed the main result in the context of (unbounded) KK-theory.
In this paper, a characteristic condition of the projectively flat Kropina metric is given. By it, we prove that a Kropina metric $F=alpha^2/beta$ with constant curvature $K$ and $|beta|_{alpha}=1$ is projectively flat if and only if $F$ is locally Minkowskian.
Toeplitz operators are met in different fields of mathematics such as stochastic processes, signal theory, completeness problems, operator theory, etc. In applications, spectral and mapping properties are of particular interest. In this survey we will focus on kernels of Toeplitz operators. This raises two questions. First, how can one decide whether such a kernel is non trivial? We will discuss in some details the results starting with Makarov and Poltoratski in 2005 and their succeeding authors concerning this topic. In connection with these results we will also mention some intimately related applications to completeness problems, spectral gap problems and P{o}lya sequences. Second, if the kernel is non-trivial, what can be said about the structure of the kernel, and what kind of information on the Toeplitz operator can be deduced from its kernel? In this connection we will review a certain number of results starting with work by Hayashi, Hitt and Sarason in the late 80s on the extremal function.
