Abstract

Let TfmT^m_f be the Toeplitz quantization of a real C C^{\infty} function defined on the sphere CP(1) \mathbb{CP}(1). TfmT^m_f is therefore a Hermitian matrix with spectrum λm=(λ0m,,λmm)\lambda^m= (\lambda_0^m,\ldots,\lambda_m^m). Schur's theorem says that the diagonal of a Hermitian matrix AA that has the same spectrum of Tfm T^m_f lies inside a finite dimensional convex set whose extreme points are {(λσ(0)m,,λσ(m)m)}\{( \lambda_{\sigma(0)}^m,\ldots,\lambda_{\sigma(m)}^m)\}, where σ\sigma is any permutation of (m+1)(m+1) elements. In this paper, we prove that these convex sets "converge" to a huge convex set in L2([0,1])L^2([0,1]) whose extreme points are fϕ f^*\circ \phi, where f f^* is the decreasing rearrangement of f f and ϕ \phi ranges over the set of measure preserving transformations of the unit interval [0,1] [0,1].
