Abstract

The present article presents geometric quantization on cotangent bundles as a special instance of Kirillov's orbit method. To this end, the cotangent bundle is realized as a coadjoint orbit of an infinite-dimensional Lie group constructed from the diffeomorphism group. We also develop two asymptotic character formulas by employing the tangent groupoid.
