Over the past five years, there has been significant progress on the problem of quantization of diffeomorphism covariant field theories with {\it local} degrees of freedom. The absence of a background space-time metric in these theories…

We deduce the constraint structure and subsequently quantize a free particle system residing on a torus satisfying the geometric constraint $(r-a)=0$, within the framework of modified Faddeev-Jackiw formalism. Further, we reformulate the…

We formulate quantum mechanics in the two-dimensional torus without using position operators. We define an algebra with only momentum operators and shift operators and construct irreducible representation of the algebra. We show that it…

We consider the following construction of quantization. For a Riemannian manifold $M$ the space of forms on $T^*M$ is made into a space of (full) symbols of operators acting on forms on $M$. This gives rise to the composition of symbols,…

The problem of quantizing a particle on a 2-sphere has been treated by numerous approaches, including Isham's global method based on unitary representations of a symplectic symmetry group that acts transitively on the phase space. Here we…

Physical path integral formulation of motion of particles in Riemannian spaces is outlined and extended to deduce the corresponding field theoretical formulation. For the special case of a zero rest mass particle in Minkowski manifold, it…

In 2+1-dimensions (2+1D), a gapped quantum phase with no symmetry (i.e. a topological order) can have a thermal Hall conductance $\kappa_{xy}=c \frac{\pi^2 k_B^2}{3h}T$, where the dimensionless $c$ is called chiral central charge. If there…

A natural map from a quantized space onto its semiclassical limit is obtained. As an application, we see that an induced map by the natural map is a homeomorphism from the spectrum of the multi-parameter quantized Weyl algebra onto the…

These notes present an introduction to the method of geometric quantization. We discuss the main theorems in a style suitable for a theoretical physicist with an eye towards the physical motivation and the interpretation of the geometric…

An elementary introduction is provided to the phase space quantization method of Moyal and Wigner. We generalize the method so that it applies to 2-dimensional surfaces, where it has an interesting connection with quantum holography. In the…

We define the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization via $T$-modules for a $b$-symplectic toric manifold and show that it coincides with the formal geometric quantization of [GMW18b]. In particular, we prove that its dimension is given by a signed…

Membranes holomorphically embedded in flat noncompact space are constructed in terms of the degrees of freedom of an infinite collection of 0-branes. To each holomorphic curve we associate infinite-dimensional matrices which are static…

Using methods of formal geometry, the Poisson sigma model on a closed surface is studied in perturbation theory. The effective action, as a function on vacua, is shown to have no quantum corrections if the surface is a torus or if the…

We present a topological quantization of free massive bosonic fields as the first example of a classical field theory with a quantum counterpart to be studied under this formalism. First, we identify certain harmonic map as a geometric…

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…

It is well known that quantum mechanics admits a geometric formulation on the complex projective space as a Kahler manifold. In this paper we consider the notion of mutual information among continuous random variables in relation to the…

We define formal geometric quantisation for proper Hamiltonian actions by possibly noncompact groups on possibly noncompact, prequantised symplectic manifolds, generalising work of Weitsman and Paradan. We study the functorial properties of…
