A K-Theoretic Note on Geometric Quantization

Symplectic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We show that the results of the paper Symplectic Reduction and Riemann-Roch for Circle Actions of Duistermaat, Guillemin, Meinrenken and Wu can be expressed entirely in K-theory. We show that their quantization is simply a pushforward in K-theory, and use Lerman's symplectic cutting and the localization theorem in equivariant K-theory to prove that quantization commutes with reduction. Only the case where the action is free on the zero level set of the moment map is addressed.
