This study introduces a novel virtual representation of compact Lie group actions on line bundles using a twisted signature operator. This method yields results analogous to established geometric quantization theorems.

Area of Science:

  • Differential Geometry
  • Representation Theory
  • Mathematical Physics

Background:

  • Geometric quantization is a standard theory for associating quantum representations to classical systems.
  • Line bundles over manifolds are fundamental objects in geometry and physics.
  • Compact Lie groups play a crucial role in symmetry in physics and mathematics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new method for constructing virtual representations of compact Lie group actions.
  • To explore the connection between the signature operator and geometric quantization in a generalized setting.
  • To establish analogues of existing theorems in geometric quantization theory.

Main Methods:

  • Associating a virtual representation of a compact Lie group G to its action on a line bundle.
