RAC Rev. R. Acad. Cien. Serie A. Mat. VOL . 95 (1), 2001, pp. 65–83 Geometrı́a y Topologı́a / Geometry and Topology On the geometric prequantization of brackets M. de León, J. C. Marrero and E. Padrón Abstract. In this paper we consider a general setting for geometric prequantization of a manifold endowed with a non-necessarily Jacobi bracket. The existence of a generalized foliation permits to define a notion of prequantization bundle. A second approach is given assuming the existence of a Lie algebroid on the manifold. Both approaches are related, and the results for Poisson and Jacobi manifolds are recovered. Precuantización geométrica de corchetes Resumen. En este artı́culo se considera un marco general para la precuantización geométrica de una variedad provista de un corchete que no es necesariamente de Jacobi. La existencia de una foliación generalizada permite definir una noción de fibrado de precuantización. Se estudia una aproximación alternativa suponiendo la existencia de un algebroide de Lie sobre la variedad. Se relacionan ambos enfoques y se recuperan los resultados conocidos para variedades de Poisson y Jacobi. 1. Introduction Since the seminal results by Kostant and Souriau [14, 26] a lot of work has been done in order to develop a geometric theory of quantization. The inspiration behind these ideas was to develop a method to quantize a classical system and to obtain the quantum system reproducing the Dirac scheme for canonical quantization. The procedure starts with a phase space which in the most favourable case is a symplectic manifold . Then, we associate to a Hilbert space, which at the first step is the space of sections of a complex line bundle over . Thus, to each function (an observable) we attach an operator , , where is the Hamiltonian vector field defined by , and is a covariant derivative on . is said to be a prequantization bundle of if , that is, the commutator of the operators corresponds to the Poisson bracket of the observables. This condition can be translated as the existence of a covariant derivative such that its curvature is . The condition is just fullfilled for integral symplectic manifolds. In constrained Hamiltonian systems and other physical instances, there appear more general phase spaces, endowed with a non-symplectic Poisson bracket, or even, a Jacobi bracket. An approach to this problem is the use of symplectic and contact groupoids, and there is an extensive list of results due mainly to Karasev, Maslov, Weinstein, Dazord, Hector and others (see [4], [5], [6], [11] and [31]; see also [29] and the references therein).

Padrón On the other hand, in [10] Huebschmann extended the Kostant-Souriau geometric quantization procedure of symplectic manifolds to Poisson algebras and, particularly, to the Lie algebra of functions of a Poisson manifold. In [28] (see also [29]), Vaisman obtains essentially the same quantization of a Poisson manifold straightforwardly, without resorting to any special algebraic machinery. He introduced contravariant instead of covariant derivatives on , in order to take account that the Poisson bracket is given by a contravariant 2-vector. This permits to obtain similar results for Poisson manifolds. Here, the traditional de Rham cohomology has to be substitutted by the so-called Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology (LP-cohomology). The LP-cohomology has a clear lecture in the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of the Lie algebra of functions on through the representation . The above results were recently extended for a Jacobi manifold (see [19]). In this case one has to consider the Lie algebroid associated to and the so-called Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomology (LJcohomology) of . The Lie algebroid (respectively, the LJ-cohomology) has been introduced in [12] (respectively, in [18, 19]). The LJ-cohomology is the cohomology of a subcomplex of the H-ChevalleyEilenberg complex. The cohomology of this last complex is just the cohomology of the Lie algebra of functions on relative to the representation defined by the Hamiltonian vector fields (for a detailed study of the cohomologies of another subcomplexes of the H-Chevalley-Eilenberg complex, we refer to [15, 16, 17]). The purpose of the present paper is to consider a more general setting which extends in some sense the precedent ones. We consider a manifold endowed with a skew-symmetric bracket of functions which satisfies the Jacobi identity, a rule that assigns a vector field to each function such that , and, in addition, we assume that the generalized distribution defined by the vector fields is in fact a generalized foliation. Note that does not satisfy necessarily any local property, so that it is not in principle a Jacobi bracket. Even in this general setting it is still possible to define the corresponding H-Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology, and the de Rham and the -foliated cohomologies are related with it. By introducing a suitable definition of -foliated derivatives, we give a first definition of prequantization bundle, and obtain a characterization of a quantizable manifold (Theorem 3.9) in the setting of foliated forms. If the existence of a Lie algebroid is assumed, then we can define a new cohomology by using the representation of on and, under certain conditions, this cohomology is related with the precedent ones in a natural way. A second definition of prequantization bundle is given in this context making use of a convenient notion of -derivative, and the corresponding characterization of quantizable manifold is obtained (Theorem 4.8). It should be remarked that this second notion of prequantization bundle is more general that the precedent one. Finally, we discuss the cases of Poisson and Jacobi manifolds recovering the results previously obtained in [28] and [19], respectively.

Conversely, a structure of local Lie algebra on 66 On the geometric prequantization of brackets V9 Z; W& [ 9 Z; \Yj defines a Jacobi structure on (see [8, 13]). If the vector field identically vanishes then is a derivation in each argument and, therefore, defines a Poisson bracket on and is a Poisson manifold. Jacobi and Poisson manifolds were introduced by Lichnerowicz ([20, 21]; see also [3], [22] and [29]). Examples of Poisson structures are symplectic and Lie-Poisson structures (see [20] and [30]). Other interesting examples of Jacobi manifolds, which are not Poisson manifolds, are contact manifolds and locally conformal symplectic manifolds which we will describe below. A contact manifold is a pair , where is a -dimensional manifold and is a -form on such that at every point (see, for example, [1], [2], [21] and [22]). If is the isomorphism of -modules of the space of vector fields on onto the space of -forms defined by , then the vector field is called the Reeb vector field. A contact manifold is a Jacobi manifold. In fact, the vector field is the Reeb vector is defined by field and the -vector on WuB 0 X .vw u ~v ZD! / u ^ Q d B u A z x 1 % y a v ~ ~ { 5 %?3A)c du/.u4 5 u | % {i~ uB {c}| uB [ 0 Y YcFWf %]du4 { , { f i FW ~ dD < %(a " !

An almost symplectic manifold is said to be locally conformal symplectic (l.c.s.) if for each point there is an open neighborhood such that , for some function (see, for example, [8] and [27]). So, is a symplectic manifold. An almost symplectic manifold is l.c.s. if and only if there exists a closed 1-form such that The 1-form is called the Lee 1-form of . It is obvious that the l.c.s. manifolds with Lee 1-form identically zero are just the symplectic manifolds. In a similar way that for contact manifolds, we define a -vector and a vector field on which are given by for all , where is the isomorphism of by . Then is a Jacobi manifold. The contact and l.c.s. manifolds are called the transitive Jacobi manifolds (see [7]). Now, let be a Jacobi manifold. Define a homomorphism of by for . This homomorphism can be extended to a homomorphism, which we also denote by on onto the space of -vectors by putting: of -forms -modules defined -modules (4) , from the space (5) for and We also denote by the corresponding vector bundle morphism. If the vector field is a real-valued function on a Jacobi manifold defined by (6) is called the Hamiltonian vector field associated with . It should be noticed that the Hamiltonian vector field associated with the constant function is just . A direct computation proves that (see [21] and [24]) (7) Now, for every we consider the subspace fields evaluated at the point . In other words, of generated by all the Hamiltonian vector .

Moreover, the Jacobi structure of induces a Jacobi structure on each leaf. In fact, if is the leaf over a point of and then is a contact manifold with the induced Jacobi structure. If , is a l.c.s. manifold (for a more detailed study of the characteristic foliation of a Jacobi manifold we refer to [7] and [8]). If is a Poisson manifold then the characteristic foliation of is just the canonical symplectic foliation of (see [20] and [30]). Next, we will recall the definition of the Lie algebroid associated to a Jacobi manifold (see [12]). Let be a differentiable manifold. A Lie algebroid structure on a differentiable vector bundle is a pair that consists of a Lie algebra structure on the space of the global cross sections of and a vector bundle morphism ( the anchor map) such that: is a Lie algebra homomorphism. 1. The induced map 2. For all and for all one has (8) A triple is called a Lie algebroid over (see [23], [25] and [29]). Now, let be a Jacobi manifold. In [12], the authors obtain a Lie algebroid structure on the jet bundle as follows. It is well-known that if is the cotangent bundle of , the space can be identified with the product manifold in such a sense that the space of the global cross sections of the vector bundle can be identified with Now, we consider on the bracket given by (see [12]) (9) where is the prolongation mapping defined by (10) We have (see [12]) Theorem 1 Let be a Jacobi manifold and the bracket on (9). Then, the triple is a Lie algebroid over where is the vector bundle morphism defined by (11) for mapping Moreover, if we consider on the Jacobi bracket then the prolongation (12) is a Lie algebra homomorphism. Remark 1 If vector bundle then the canonical projection in such a sense that defines a vector subbundle of the for where (respectively, ) is the fibre of (respectively, ) over . Note that can be identified with the cotangent bundle and that, under this identification, the restriction of the anchor map to is just the vector bundle morphism 68 On the geometric prequantization of brackets 3.
