Abstract

Given a Poisson (or more generally Dirac) manifold PP, there are two approaches to its geometric quantization: one involves a circle bundle QQ over PP endowed with a Jacobi (or Jacobi-Dirac) structure; the other one involves a circle bundle with a (pre-) contact groupoid structure over the (pre-) symplectic groupoid of PP. We study the relation between these two prequantization spaces. We show that the circle bundle over the (pre-) symplectic groupoid of PP is obtained from the groupoid of QQ via an S1S^1 reduction that preserves both the groupoid and the geometric structure.
