Abstract

In their physical proposal for quantization [20], Gukov-Witten suggested that, given a symplectic manifold MM with a complexification XX, the A-model morphism spaces Hom(Bcc,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}, \mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}) and Hom(B,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal{B}, \mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}) should recover holomorphic deformation quantization of XX and geometric quantization of MM respectively, where Bcc\mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}} is a canonical coisotropic A-brane on XX and B\mathcal{B} is a Lagrangian A-brane supported on MM. Assuming MM is spin and K\"ahler with a prequantum line bundle LL, Chan-Leung-Li [10] constructed a subsheaf Oqu(k)\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{qu}}^{(k)} of smooth functions on MM with a non-formal star product and a left Oqu(k)\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{qu}}^{(k)}-module structure on the sheaf of holomorphic sections of LkKL^{\otimes k} \otimes \sqrt{K}. In this paper, we give a careful treatment of the relation between (holomorphic) deformation quantizations of MM and XX. As a result, Chan-Leung-Li's work [10] provides a mathematical realization of the action of Hom(Bcc,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}, \mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}) on Hom(B,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal{B}, \mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}). By Fedosov's gluing arguments, we also construct a Oqu(k)\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{qu}}^{(k)}-Oqu(k)\overline{\mathcal{O}}_{\operatorname{qu}}^{(k)}-bimodule structure on the sheaf of smooth sections of L2kL^{\otimes 2k} to realize the actions of Hom(Bcc,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}, \mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}) and Hom(Bcc,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\overline{\mathcal{B}}_{\operatorname{cc}}, \overline{\mathcal{B}}_{\operatorname{cc}}) on Hom(Bcc,Bcc)\operatorname{Hom}(\overline{\mathcal{B}}_{\operatorname{cc}}, \mathcal{B}_{\operatorname{cc}}), which is related to the analytic geometric Langlands program.
