We study the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on Kaehler manifolds. We explain first how to compute various associated asymptotic expansions, then we compute explicitly the first terms of the expansion of the kernel of the Berezin-Toeplitz operators, and of the composition of two Berezin-Toeplitz operators. As application…

We introduce new tools for analytic microlocal analysis on Kähler manifolds. As an application, we prove that the space of Berezin-Toeplitz operators with analytic contravariant symbol is an algebra. We also give a short proof of the Bergman kernel asymptotics up to an exponentially small error.

Given a Hodge manifold, it is introduced a self-adjoint operator on the space of endomorphisms of the global holomorphic sections of the polarization line bundle. Such operator is shown to approximate the Laplace operator on functions when composed with Berezin-Toeplitz quantization map and its adjoint up to an error w…

Let $M$ be an arbitrary complex manifold and let $L$ be a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over $M$. We introduce the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of the open set of $M$ where the curvature on $L$ is non-degenerate. The quantum spaces are the spectral spaces corresponding to $[0,k^{-N}]$ ($N>1$ fixed), of the Kodaira…

The paper constructs quantizations for symplectic manifolds with specific Laplacian properties.

For arbitrary compact quantizable Kaehler manifolds it is shown how a natural formal deformation quantization (star product) can be obtained via Berezin-Toeplitz operators. Results on their semi-classical behaviour (their asymptotic expansion) due to Bordemann, Meinrenken and Schlichenmaier are used in an essential man…

We establish some subprincipal estimates for Berezin-Toeplitz operators on symplectic compact manifolds. From this, we construct a family of subprincipal symbol maps and we prove that these maps are the only ones satisfying some expected conditions.

Quantizes symplectic manifolds with bounded geometry using Berezin-Toeplitz method.

We give new methods for computing the coefficients of the asymptotic expansions of the kernel of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization obtained recently by Ma-Marinescu, and of the composition of two Berezin-Toeplitz quantizations. Our main tool is the stationary phase formula of Melin-Sjöstrand.

We develop the theory of Berezin-Toeplitz operator on any compact symplectic prequantizable manifold from scratch. Our main inspiration is the Boutet de Monvel-Guillemin theory, that we simplify in several ways to obtain a concise exposition. A comparison with the spin-c Dirac quantization is also included.

Survey on quantization methods on Kähler manifolds.

For phase-space manifolds which are compact Kaehler manifolds relations between the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization and the quantization with the help of Berezin's coherent states and symbols are studied. First the results on the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of arbitrary compact Kaehler manifolds due to Bordemann, Meinr…

We use the theory of Berezin-Toeplitz operators of Ma and Marinescu to study the quantum Hamiltonian dynamics associated with classical Hamiltonian flows over closed prequantized symplectic manifolds in the context of geometric quantization of Kostant and Souriau. We express the associated evolution operators via paral…

We suggest a way to quantize, using Berezin-Toeplitz quantization, a compact hyperkahler manifold (equipped with a natural 3-plectic form), or a compact integral Kahler manifold of complex dimension n regarded as a (2n-1)-plectic manifold. We show that quantization has reasonable semiclassical properties.

We study the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization using as quantum space the space of eigenstates of the renormalized Bochner Laplacian corresponding to eigenvalues localized near the origin on a symplectic manifold. We show that this quantization has the correct semiclassical behavior and construct the corresponding star-pro…

We use the theory of Berezin-Toeplitz operators of Ma and Marinescu to study the spaces of holomorphic sections of a prequantizing line bundle over compact Kähler manifolds under deformations of the complex structure. We show that the parallel transport in the induced vector bundle over the deformation space behaves li…

The paper classifies quantizable functions and explores symmetry in quantization methods.

For a Kähler manifold $X$ equipped with a prequantum line bundle $L$, we give a geometric construction of a family of representations of the Berezin-Toeplitz deformation quantization algebra $(C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]],\star_{BT})$ parametrized by points $z_0 \in X$. The key idea is to use peak sections to suitably localize…

We compute the Hessian of quantized Ding functionals and give an elementary proof for the convexity of quantized Ding functionals along Bergman geodesics from the view point of projective geometry. We study also the asymptotic behavior of the Hessian using the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization.

If f is a smooth function on a Hodge manifold, we construct a canonical sequence of real algebraic functions that converge to f in the smooth topology. The definition of of the approximants is inspired by Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. The proof follows quickly from known results of Fine, Liu and Ma.

We establish that Hitchin's connection exist for any rigid holomorphic family of Kahler structures on any compact pre-quantizable symplectic manifold which satisfies certain simple topological constraints. Using Toeplitz operators we prove that Hitchin's connection induces a unique formal connection on smooth functions…

We then show how these results…

Let X be a complex manifold with strongly pseudoconvex boundary M. If u is a defining function for M, then -log u is plurisubharmonic on a neighborhood of M in X, and the (real) 2-form s = i \del \delbar(-log u) is a symplectic structure on the complement of M in a neighborhood in X of M; it blows up along M. The Poiss…

The standard (Berezin-Toeplitz) geometric quantization of a compact Kaehler manifold is restricted by integrality conditions. These restrictions can be circumvented by passing to the universal covering space, provided that the lift of the symplectic form is exact. I relate this construction to the Baum-Connes assembly …

Quantizes symplectic fibrations to analyze vector bundles and metrics.

By the quantization condition compact quantizable Kaehler manifolds can be embedded into projective space. In this way they become projective varieties. The quantum Hilbert space of the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization (and of the geometric quantization) is the projective coordinate ring of the embedded manifold. This all…
