TL;DR
This work develops Berezin-type and Odzijewicz-type quantizations for arbitrary compact smooth manifolds by embedding the manifold into $\mathbb{C}P^n$ and pulling back the associated coherent-state, reproducing-kernel Hilbert-space structures. It first constructs explicit quantizations on $\mathbb{C}P^n$ and then induces corresponding operators and symbols on the embedded manifold $X$, establishing a consistent correspondence principle in both frameworks. A key technical contribution is solving a Monge-Ampère equation to realize the Odzijewicz construction on $\mathbb{C}P^n$ and then transporting it to $X$ via the pullback of coherent states, thereby enabling a path-integral interpretation of transition amplitudes through holomorphic line bundles with connections. The approach yields an embedding-dependent, geometrically grounded quantization scheme suitable for systems lacking a natural symplectic action, with potential links to higher-dimensional quantum Hall physics and quantum chaos phenomena.
Abstract
In this article we define Berezin-type and Odzijewicz-type quantizations on compact smooth manifolds. The method is we embed the smooth manifold of real dimension $n$ into ${\mathbb C}P^n$ and induce the quantizations from there. The standard way by which reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are defined on submanifolds gives a way to define the pullback coherent states. In Berezin-type quantization the Hilbert space of quantization is the pullback (by the embedding) of the Hilbert space of geometric quantization of ${\mathbb C}P^n$. In the Odzijewicz-type quantization one has to consider a tensor product of the geometric quantization line bundle with holomorphic $n$-forms. In the Berezin case, the operators that are quantized are those induced from the ambient space ${\mathbb C}P^n$. The Berezin-type quantization exhibited here is a generalization of an earlier work of the author and Ghosh. In both Berezin and Odzijewicz-type quantizations we first exhibit this quantization explicitly on ${\mathbb C}P^n$ and we induce the quantization on the smooth compact embedded manifold from ${\mathbb C}P^n$.
