GEOMETRIC QUANTIZATION OF ODD DIMENSIONAL SPINcMANIFOLDS

Quantization of the Gravitational Constant in Odd-Dimensional Gravity

It is pointed out that the action recently proposed by Bañados et al. for gravitation in odd dimensions higher (and lower) than four, provides a natural quantization for the gravitational constant. These theories possess no dimensionful parameters and hence they may be power counting renormalizable. Gravitation in dimensions greater than two is best described by the so-called Lovelock action [1...

Geometric Quantization and Two Dimensional QCD

In this article, we will discuss geometric quantization of 2d QCD with fermionic and bosonic matter fields. We identify the respective large-Nc phase spaces as the infinite dimensional Grassmannian and the infinite dimensional Disc. The Hamiltonians are quadratic functions, and the resulting equations of motion for these classical systems are nonlinear. In [33], it was shown that the linearizat...

Weyl Quantization from Geometric Quantization

In [23] a nice looking formula is conjectured for a deformed product of functions on a symplectic manifold in case it concerns a hermitian symmetric space of non-compact type. We derive such a formula for simply connected symmetric symplectic spaces using ideas from geometric quantization and prequantization of symplectic groupoids. We compute the result explicitly for the natural 2-dimensional...

Geometric quantization of generalized oscillator

Using geometric quantization procedure, the quantization of algebra of observables for physical system with Ricci-flat phase space is obtained. In the classical case the appointed physical system is reduced to harmonic oscillator when the one real parameter is vanished.
