Both of them are settled since the early days of geometric quantization but there is still some structural insight to gain from spectral theory. Following the work of Asch, Over & Seiler (1994) for the 2-torus we describe the relation between quantization on the manifold and Bloch theory on its covering space for more general compact manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-01-18T23:27:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81S10", "58F06", "58G25", "81Q10" ], "keywords": [ "bloch theory", "magnetic systems", "general compact manifolds", "magnetic field poses", "riemannian manifold" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
