Geometric quantization of multiparticle systems in 2 dimensions is studied. The interpretation of the global geometry to the phase factors describing the quantum statistics of the systems is presented.
Geometric quantization is an attempt at using the differential-geometric ingredients of classical phase spaces regarded as symplectic manifolds in order to define a corresponding quantum theory. Generally, the process of geometric quantization is applicable to other symplectic manifolds, not only cotangent spaces. The resulting formalism provides a way of looking at quantum theory that is distinct from conventional approaches to the subject, e.g., the Dirac bra-ket formalism. In particular, such familiar features as the quantization of spin, the canonical quantization of position and momentum, and the Schr\{o}dinger equation all emerge from geometric quantization. This paper serves as a review of the subject written in an informal style, often taking an example-based approach to exposition, and attempts to present the material without assuming the reader is an expert in differential geometry.

Anyons exhibit a non-trivial interplay between local exclusion rules and non-local braiding and exchange phases, making a consistent commutation algebra and second-quantized formulation challenging. We develop an algebraic framework for Abelian anyons in one dimension with statistical phase θ = π/N that enforces a finite on-site occupancy of N-1 anyons with the exchange phase θ between different sites. Moreover, we introduce an exact Jordan-Wigner duality between π/3 anyons and spin-1 operators, allowing us to map a tight-binding anyon model to an XY-like spin-1 model. The model exhibits anyon-density-dependent flux, incompressible or gapless regions, and critical points with level crossings that appear as discontinuities in ground-state currents, momenta, fidelities, and correlation functions. Our second-quantization formalism establishes a novel spin anyon duality, offering a conceptually new route to realize anyons from spin Hamiltonians and to engineer corresponding device architectures.
The natural role played by coherent states in the geometric quantization program is brought out by studying the mathematical equivalence between two physical interpretations that have recently been proposed for this program. These interpretations are based, respectively, on the modular algebra structure of prequantization, and the reproducing kernel structure of phase space quantization. The arguments are presented in this paper for the particular case where the phase space of the system considered is the cotangent bundle T*M of a homogeneous manifold M, and for didactic reasons, the latter is taken to be a real vector space.
