This paper extends the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization of the spherical pendulum to a full quantum theory. This the first application of geometric quantization to a classical system with monodromy.
The author introduces the notion of a quantum form of an algebraic torus. In the case of diagonal algebraic torus we get the algebra of Laurent twisted polynomials. Quantum algebraic torus can be characterized in terms of exact sequences.…
This paper studies smooth obstructions to integrability and proves two main results. First, it is shown that if a smooth topological n-torus admits a real-analytically completely integrable convex hamiltonian on its cotangent bundle, then…
This article contains is concerned with noncommutative analogue of topological finitely listed covering projections. In my previous article I have already find a family of covering projections of the noncommutative torus. This article…
The $n$-torus is the the unique closed manifold supporting a set of $n$ linearly independent closed $1$-forms. In this paper we improve on this result and show that the torus is the unique closed $n$-dimensional manifold supporting a…
We adapt the framework of geometric quantization to the polysymplectic setting. Considering prequantization as the extension of symmetries from an underlying polysymplectic manifold to the space of sections of a Hermitian vector bundle, a…
Quantization of $R^2$ and $S^1 \times S^1$ phase spaces are explicitly carried out tweaking the techniques of geometric quantization. Crucial is a combined use of left and right invariant vector fields. Canonical bases, operators and their…
Consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus on a compact twisted generalized complex manifold $M$. We first observe that Kirwan injectivity and surjectivity hold for ordinary equivariant cohomology in this setting. Then we prove that these…
This work answers the question what coverings over a topological torus can be induced from a covering over a space of dimension $k$. The answer to this question is then applied in algebro-geometric context to present obstructions to…
Polarization of light is harnessed in an abundance of classical and quantum applications. Characterizing polarization in a classical sense is done resoundingly successfully using the Stokes parameters, and numerous proposals offer new…
In quantum physics, the operators associated with the position and the momentum of a particle are unbounded operators and $C^*$-algebraic quantisation does therefore not deal with such operators. In the present article, I propose a…
Any method for estimating the ensemble average of arbitrary operator (observables or not, including the density matrix) relates the quantity of interest to a complete set of observables, i.e. a quorum}. This corresponds to an expansion on…
We give explicit, uniform formulas for the graded characters and total ranks of the Lie algebra homology of finite-dimensional representations in all classical types. In many cases, these compute the Tor groups of finite length modules over…
We present a new method for the quantization of totally constrained systems including general relativity. The method consists in constructing discretized theories that have a well defined and controlled continuum limit. The discrete…
The notion of quantum-mechanical completeness is adapted to situations where the only adequate description is in terms of quantum field theory in curved space-times. It is then shown that Schwarzschild black holes, although geodesically…
A quantization over a manifold can be seen as a way to construct a differential operator with prescribed principal symbol. The quantization map is moreover required to be a linear bijection. It is known that there is in general no natural…
Polarization of light is one of the fundamental concepts in optics. There are many ways to measure and characterise this feature of light but at the fundamental level it is quantum mechanics that imposes ultimate limits to such…
Let $T$ be a compact torus. We prove that, up to equivariant rational equivalence, the category of $T$-simply connected, $T$-finite type $T$-spaces with finitely many isotropy types is completely described by certain finite systems of…
We define a complete measurement of a quantum observable (POVM) as a measurement of the maximally refined version of the POVM. Complete measurements give information from the multiplicities of the measurement outcomes and can be viewed as…
We introduce the notion of a "Souriau bracket" on a prequantum circle bundle $Y$ over a phase space $X$ and explain how a deformation of $Y$ in the direction of this bracket provides a genuine quantization of $X$.
