    Geometric Quantization of Algebraic Reduction

    Full text link
    An analogue of geometric quantization of Poisson algebras obtained by algebraic reduction of symmetries is developed. Interpretation of the obtained results and their application to the problem of commutativity of quantization and reduction are givenComment: 22 page

    Shifting operators in geometric quantization

    Full text link
    In a series of papers on Bohr-Sommerfeld-Heisenberg quantization of completely integrable systems we interpreted shifting operators as quantization of functions e±iθj{\mathrm{e}}^{ \pm i{\theta}_j} , where (Ij,θj)(I_j , {\theta}_j ) are action angle coordinates. The aim of this paper is to show how these operators occur in geometric quantization.Comment: This is a revised version. It focuses exclusively on shifting operators in Bohr-Sommerfeld theory of quantization of completely integrable Hamiltonian system

    Orbits of families of vector fields on subcartesian spaces

    Full text link
    Orbits of families of vector fields on a subcartesian space are shown to be smooth manifolds. This allows for a global description of a smooth geometric structure on a family of manifolds in terms of a single object defined on the corresponding family of vector fields. Stratified spaces, Poisson spaces and almost complex spaces are discussed.Comment: 34 page

    Singular reduction for nonlinear control systems

    Full text link
    We discuss smooth nonlinear control systems with symmetry. For a free and proper action of the symmetry group, the reduction of symmetry gives rise to a reduced smooth nonlinear control system. If the action of the symmetry group is only proper, the reduced nonlinear control system need not be smooth. Using the smooth calculus on nonsmooth spaces, provided by the theory of differential spaces of Sikorski, we prove a generalization of Sussmann's theorem on orbits of families of smooth vector fields.Comment: 13 page

    Bohr-Sommerfeld-Heisenberg Theory in Geometric Quantization

    Full text link
    In the framework of geometric quantization we extend the Bohr-Sommerfeld rules to a full quantization theory which resembles Heisenberg's matrix theory. This extension is possible because Bohr-Sommerfeld rules not only provide an orthogonal basis in the space of quantum states, but also give a lattice structure to this basis. This permits the definition of appropriate shifting operators. As examples, we discuss the 1-dimensional harmonic oscillator and the coadjoint orbits of the rotation group
