Abstract
The geometric quantization of the geodesic flow on a compact Riemannian manifold via the BKS "dragging projection" yields the Laplacian plus a scalar curvature term. To avoid convergence issues, the standard construction involves somewhat unnatural hypotheses that do not hold in typical examples. In this paper, we use adapted complex structures to make sense of a Wick-rotated version of the dragging projection which avoids the convergence issues.
