Prequantization and Lie Brackets

چکیده
We start by describing the relationship between the classical prequantization condition and the integrability of a certain Lie algebroid associated to the problem and use this to give a global construction of the prequantizing bundle in terms of path spaces (Introduction), then we rephrase the problem in terms of groupoids (second section), and then we study the more general problem of prequantizing groupoids endowed with a multiplicative 2-forms (the rest of the paper).

Geometric quantization of Hamiltonian actions of Lie algebroids and Lie groupoids
We construct Hermitian representations of Lie algebroids and associated unitary representations of Lie groupoids by a geometric quantization procedure. For this purpose we introduce a new notion of Hamiltonian Lie algebroid actions. The first step of our procedure consists of the construction of a prequantization line bundle. Next, we discuss a version of Kähler quantization suitable for this s...
متن کاملHigher Derived Brackets and Deformation Theory
The existing constructions of derived Lie and sh-Lie brackets involve multilinear maps that are used to define higher order differential operators. In this paper, we prove the equivalence of three different definitions of higher order operators. We then introduce a unifying theme for building derived brackets and show that two prevalent derived Lie bracket constructions are equivalent. Two basi...
متن کاملClassification and Casimir invariants of Lie–Poisson brackets
We classify Lie–Poisson brackets that are formed from Lie algebra extensions. The problem is relevant because many physical systems owe their Hamiltonian structure to such brackets. A classification involves reducing all brackets to a set of normal forms, and is achieved partially through the use of Lie algebra cohomology. For extensions of order less than five, the number of normal forms is sm...
متن کاملPeriod Polynomials and Ihara Brackets
Schneps [J. Lie Theory 16 (2006), 19–37] has found surprising links between Ihara brackets and even period polynomials. These results can be recovered and generalized by considering some identities relating Ihara brackets and classical Lie brackets. The period polynomials generated by this method are found to be essentially the Kohnen-Zagier polynomials.
متن کاملHomotopy Lie Algebras and the Courant Bracket
We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent ∆ operator, we define a non-commutative generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra, and we show that they form a homotopy Lie algebra. Secondly, we investigate higher, so-called derived brackets built from symmetrized, nested Lie br...
