A polysymplectic structure is a vector-valued symplectic form, that is, a closed nondegenerate 2-form with values in a vector space. We first outline the polysymplectic Hamiltonian formalism with coefficients in a vector space $V$, then…

Many interesting C*-algebras can be viewed as quantizations of Poisson manifolds. I propose that a Poisson manifold may be quantized by a twisted polarized convolution C*-algebra of a symplectic groupoid. Toward this end, I define…

For a manifold $M$ with an integral closed 3-form $\omega$, we construct a $PU(H)$-bundle and a Lie groupoid over its total space, together with a curving in the sense of gerbes. If the form is non-degenerate, we furthermore give a natural…

Let $P$ be a polarization on a symplectic manifold for which there exists a metalinear frame bundle. We show that for any other compatible polarization $P'$ there exists a unique metalinear frame bundle such that the BKS-pairing is well…

A prequantization bundle is a negative circle bundle over a symplectic surface together with a contact form induced by a S1-invariant connection. Given a symplectically aspherical symplectic filling of a prequantization bundle satisfying…

This paper is about geometric quantization of the Hitchin system. We quantize a Kahler form on the Hitchin moduli space (which is half the first Kahler form defined by Hitchin) by considering the Quillen bundle as the prequantum line bundle…

We develop the noncommutative geometry (bundles, connections etc.) associated to algebras that factorise into two subalgebras. An example is the factorisation of matrices $M_2(\C)=\C\Z_2\cdot\C\Z_2$. We also further extend the coalgebra…

Given a compact symplectic manifold $M$, with integral symplectic form, we prequantize a certain class of functions on the path space for $M$. The functions in question are induced by functions on $M$. We apply our construction to study the…

We present a simple geometric construction linking geometric to deformation quantization. Both theories depend on some apparently arbitrary parameters, most importantly a polarization and a symplectic connection, and for real polarizations…

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…

We explain that when quantising phase spaces with varying symplectic structures, the bundle of quantum Hilbert spaces over the parameter space has a natural unitary connection. We then focus on symplectic vector spaces and their fermionic…

We consider the geometric formulation of the Hamiltonian formalism for field theory in terms of {\em Hamiltonian connections} and {\em multisymplectic forms}. In this framework the covariant Hamilton equations for Mechanics and field theory…

Covariant (polysymplectic) Hamiltonian field theory is formulated as a particular Lagrangian theory on a polysymplectic phase space that enables one to quantize it in the framework of familiar quantum field theory.

We study a notion of pre-quantization for $b$-symplectic manifolds. We use it to construct a formal geometric quantization of $b$-symplectic manifolds equipped with Hamiltonian torus actions with nonzero modular weight. We show that these…

In this article we develop tools to compute the Geometric Quantization of a symplectic manifold with respect to a regular Lagrangian foliation via sheaf cohomology and obtain important new applications in the case of real polarizations. The…

Let $M$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a pre-quantum line bundle $L$. In [9], using $T$-symmetry, we constructed a polarization $\mathcal{P}_{\mathrm{mix}}$ on $M$, which generalizes real polarizations on toric manifolds. In…

A geometric description is given for the Sp(2) covariant version of the field-antifield quantization of general constrained systems in the Lagrangian formalism. We develop differential geometry on manifolds in which a basic set of…

Geometric quantization of a Poisson manifold need not imply quantization of its symplectic leaves. We provide the leafwise geometric quantization of a Poisson manifold, seen as a foliated one, whose quantum algebra restricted to each leaf…

We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…

This paper develops a unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry, extending the L_infty-algebra of Hamiltonian (n-1)-forms to Hamiltonian forms of all degrees via a degree-shifting Grassmann variable u that encodes submanifold…
