The metaplectic correction in geometric quantization

Mathematical Physics 2016-06-22 v1 math.MP

Abstract

Let PP be a polarization on a symplectic manifold for which there exists a metalinear frame bundle. We show that for any other compatible polarization PP' there exists a unique metalinear frame bundle such that the BKS-pairing is well defined. This means that we do not need the metaplectic frame bundle (nor a positivity condition on PP) to achieve this goal, and thus the name "metaplectic correction" is inappropriate.
