Circuit quantization is an extraordinarily successful theory that describes the behavior of quantum circuits with high precision. The most widely used approach of circuit quantization relies on introducing a classical Lagrangian whose…
We use the method of homological quantum reduction to construct a deformation quantization on singular symplectic quotients in the situation, where the coefficients of the moment map define a complete intersection. Several examples are…
In this paper we define invariants of Hamiltonian group actions for central regular values of the moment map. The key hypotheses are that the moment map is proper and that the ambient manifold is symplectically aspherical. The invariants…
Geometric quantization transforms a symplectic manifold with Lie group action to a unitary representation. In this article, we extend geometric quantization to the super setting. We consider real forms of contragredient Lie supergroups with…
We give a complete characterization of Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups on exact symplectic manifolds with proper momentum maps. We deduce that every Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a contractible symplectic manifold…
This set of notes corresponds to a mini-course given in September 2018 in Bedlewo; it does not contain any new result; it complements -- with intersection -- the introduction to formal deformation quantization and group actions,…
Symplectic quantization is a functional approach to quantum field theory that allows sampling of quantum fluctuations directly in Minkowski space time by means of a generalized Hamiltonian dynamics in an extra time variable $\tau$ which, at…
Geometric Quantization is a term used to describe a wide collection of techniques dating back to the 1960s in the work of Kirillov, Kostant, and Souriau, which take symplectic manifolds and produce complex vector spaces. The name comes from…
We consider symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian torus actions which are "almost but not quite completely integrable": the dimension of the torus is one less than half the dimension of the manifold. We provide a complete set of invariants…
For decades, mathematical physicists have searched for a coordinate independent quantization procedure to replace the ad hoc process of canonical quantization. This effort has largely coalesced into two distinct research programs: geometric…
Within the Hamiltonian framework, the propositions about a classical physical system are described in the Borel {\sigma}-algebra of a symplectic manifold (the phase space) where logical connectives are the standard set operations.…
The goal of this note is to describe a class of formal deformations of a symplectic manifold $M$ in the case when the base ring of the deformation problem involves parameters of non-positive degrees. The interesting feature of such…
States of a quantum mechanical system are represented by rays in a complex Hilbert space. The space of rays has, naturally, the structure of a K\"ahler manifold. This leads to a geometrical formulation of the postulates of quantum mechanics…
New features of a previously introduced Group Approach to Quantization are presented. We show that the construction of the symmetry group associated with the system to be quantized (the "quantizing group") does not require, in general, the…
Different approaches are compared to formulation of quantum mechanics of a particle on the curved spaces. At first, the canonical, quasi-classical and path integration formalisms are considered for quantization of geodesic motion on the…
Many mathematical models of physical phenomena that have been proposed in recent years require more general spaces than manifolds. When taking into account the symmetry group of the model, we get a reduced model on the (singular) orbit…
The tomographic representation of quantum fields within the deformation quantization formalism is constructed. By employing the Wigner functional we obtain the symplectic tomogram associated with quantum fields. In addition, the tomographic…
In this note we point out the striking relation between the conditions arising within geometric quantization and the non-perturbative Poisson sigma model. Starting from the Poisson sigma model, we analyze necessary requirements on the path…
Let $(M,\omega)$ be a Hamiltonian $G$-space with a momentum map $F:M \to {\frak g}^*$. It is well-known that if $\alpha$ is a regular value of $F$ and $G$ acts freely and properly on the level set $F^{-1}(G\cdot \alpha)$, then the reduced…
Classical mechanics, in the operatorial formulation of Koopman and von Neumann, can be written also in a functional form. In this form two Grassmann partners of time make their natural appearance extending in this manner time to a three…
