Abstract

It is shown here and in the preceding paper (Bartlett S D, Rowe D J and Repka J 2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 ) that vector coherent state theory, the theory of induced representations and geometric quantization provide alternative but equivalent quantizations of an algebraic model. The relationships are useful because some constructions are simpler and more natural from one perspective than another. More importantly, each approach suggests ways of generalizing its counterparts. In this paper, we focus on the construction of quantum models for algebraic systems with intrinsic degrees of freedom. Semi-classical partial quantizations, for which only the intrinsic degrees of freedom are quantized, arise naturally out of this construction. The quantization of the SU (3) and rigid rotor models are considered as examples.

Vector coherent state representations, induced representations and geometric quantization: I. Scalar coherent state representations

Stephen D. Bartlett, DAVID J. ROWE, Joe Repka

Coherent state theory is shown to reproduce three categories of representations of the spectrum generating algebra for an algebraic model: (i) classical realizations which are the starting point for geometric quantization, (ii) induced unitary representations corresponding to prequantization and (iii) irreducible unitary representations obtained in geometric quantization by choice of a polarization. These representations establish an intimate relation between coherent state theory and geometric quantization in the context of induced representations.

Quantization of a Classical Model with Symmetry

Stephen D. Bartlett

A theory of quantization is given, for a model with symmetry, as the inverse of dequantization. Dequanrization is defined as tin� process of extracting the classical mechanics of a model from its quantal counterpart. It is shown that classical dynamics is embedded in quantum dynamics as a constrained subsystem. Thus, classical mechanics is obtained from quantum mechanics without taking limits of large-dimensional representations or letting h �? 0. The embedding shows that, under appropriate conditions, a quantal density can be identified with a classical state. The results are consistent with the conjecture that an algebraic model is quantized by constructing a unitary irrep of its spectrum generating algebra. Quantization of operators not in this algebra is determined by compatibility with dequantization: this method resolves the Dirac problem in a way that avoids the ambiguities of canonical quantization. Geometric quantization is used to express the vector coherent state inducing construction as a theory of quantization. The result provides physically useful quantum models for systems with an algebraic structure and intrinsic degrees of freedom. The results are illustrated by application to the S i (3) model of a rotor. An algebraic model of a rigid rotor is presented, anti the techniques of vector coherent state quantization are applied to give a quantization, including intrinsic degrees of freedom, that is compatible with the geometric structure of the corresponding classical model. An explicit dequantization of the asymmetric top, leading to Euler�s equations, illustrates the consistency of this quantization.

Geometric quantization: Modular reduction theory and coherent states

S. Twareque Ali, Gérard G. Emch

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.

Quantization, dequantization, and distinguished states

Eli Hawkins, Christoph Minz, Kasia Rejzner

Abstract Geometric quantization is a natural way to construct quantum models starting from classical data. In this work, we start from a symplectic vector space with an inner product and—using techniques of geometric quantization—construct the quantum algebra and equip it with a distinguished state. We compare our result with the construction due to Sorkin—which starts from the same input data—and show that our distinguished state coincides with the Sorkin-Johnson state. Sorkin’s construction was originally applied to the free scalar field over a causal set (locally finite, partially ordered set). Our perspective suggests a natural generalization to less linear examples, such as an interacting field.

Geometric Formulation of Berezin Quantization

Rasoul Rokhnizadeh, H. D. Doebner

In this paper we try to formulate the Berezin quantization on projective Hilbert space P(H) and use its geometric structure. It will be shown that the star product in Berezin quantiza- tion is equivalent to the Poisson bracket on P(H) and the Berezin method to construction a correspondence between a given classical theory and a given quantum theory is used to define a classical limit for geometric quantum mechanics. the covariant symbols. These symbols are expectation values of the observables in terms of coherent states: the holomorphic functions on classical phase space M that is assumed to be aKmanifold. Berezin (2) showed that the covariant symbols form a ∗-algebra which in limit � → 0l eads to the Poisson algebra between the corresponding classical observables: The functions on the phase space M. In this paper we will see that the Berezin ∗-algebra is in fact a Poisson algebra which is induced by the Fubini-Study 2-form on space of coherent states. This space is defined as follows: coherent states span a dense subspace H of Hilbert space H. P( H), which is denoted by M, is aKmanifold with induced symplectic structure from P(H). Therefore the covariant symbols can be considered as functions on M. It is shown (13) that there exists an embedding mapping between the classical phase space M and M, by which to any point z ∈ M is associated ap ointZ ∈M. With this construction to all of the quantum observables are associated their covariant symbols, which form a Poisson algebra on M and since the corresponding classical observables form a Poisson algebra on M , the Berezin quantization is a systematic procedure to relate these two Poisson algebras. Also the relation of Berezin quantization and geometric for- mulation of quantum mechanics will be evident as follows. The geometric quantum mechanics is a formulation of quantum mechanics in projective Hilbert spaces. With our construction one sees that the Berezin quantization is an equivalent formulation and in addition gives a prescription as classical limit for geometric quantum mechanics (9).

Vector coherent state representation theory

DAVID J. ROWE, George Rosensteel, Robert Gilmore

A vector coherent state theory is formulated as a natural extension of standard coherent state theory. It is shown that the Godement representations and the coherent state representations of the Sp(N,R) groups of Rowe and of Deenen and Quesne are special cases of this more general theory.
