Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to construct the Hannay-Berry model of quantum mechanics, on a two dimensional symplectic torus. We construct a simultaneous quantization of the algebra of functions and the linear symplectic group \G=\G = SL2(Z)_2 (\Z). We obtain the quantization via an action of \G\G on the set of equivalence classes of irreducible representations of Rieffel`s quantum torus \Ad\Ad. For \h\Q\h \in \Q this action has a unique fixed point. This gives a canonical projective equivariant quantization. There exists a Hilbert space on which both \G\G and \Ad\Ad act equivariantly. Combined with the fact that every projective representation of \G\G can be lifted to a linear representation, we also obtain linear equivariant quantization.
