Holomorphic quantization on the torus and finite quantum mechanics
Gregory G. Athanasiu, Emmanuel G. Floratos, Stam Nicolis
We construct explicitly the quantization of classical linear maps of SL(2,{\\Bbb R}) on toroidal phase space, of arbitrary modulus, using the holomorphic (chiral) version of the metaplectic representation. We show that Finite Quantum Mechanics (FQM) on tori of arbitrary integer discretization, is a consistent restriction of the holomorphic quantization of SL(2,{\\Bbb Z}) to the subgroup SL(2,{\\Bbb Z})/\\Gamma_l, \\Gamma_l being the principal congruent subgroup mod l, on a finite dimensional Hilbert space. The generators of the ``rotation group'' mod l, O_{l}(2)\\subset SL(2,l), for arbitrary values of l are determined as well as their quantum mechanical eigenvalues and eigenstates.
