Singular unitarity in "quantization commutes with reduction"
Abstract
Let $M$ be a connected compact quantizable Kähler manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a connected compact Lie group $G$. Let $M//G=ϕ^{-1}(0)/G=M_0$ be the symplectic quotient at value 0 of the moment map $ϕ$. The space $M_0$ may in general not be smooth. It is known that, as vector spaces, there is a natural isomorphism between the quantum Hilbert space over $M_0$ and the $G$-invariant subspace of the quantum Hilbert space over $M$. In this paper, without any regularity assumption on the quotient $M_0$, we discuss the relation between the inner products of these two quantum Hilbert spaces under the above natural isomorphism; we establish asymptotic unitarity to leading order in Planck's constant of a modified map of the above isomorphism under a ``metaplectic correction'' of the two quantum Hilbert spaces.
