We generalize several recent results concerning the asymptotic expansions of
Bergman kernels to the framework of geometric quantization and establish an
asymptotic symplectic identification property. More precisely, we study the
asymptotic expansion of the G-invariant Bergman kernel of the spin^c Dirac
operator associated with high tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a
symplectic manifold. We also develop a way to compute the coefficients of the
expansion, and compute the first few of them, especially, we obtain the scalar
curvature of the reduction space from the G-invariant Bergman kernel on the
total space. These results generalize the corresponding results in the
non-equivariant setting, which has played a crucial role in the recent work of
Donaldson on stability of projective manifolds, to the geometric quantization
setting. As another kind of application, we generalize some Toeplitz operator
type properties in semi-classical analysis to the framework of geometric
quantization. The method we use is inspired by Local Index Theory, especially
by the analytic localization techniques developed by Bismut and Lebeau.Comment: 132 page
