Geometric quantization and no-go theorems

Similarity:

A geometric quantization of a Kähler manifold, viewed as a symplectic manifold, depends on the complex structure compatible with the symplectic form. The quantizations form a vector bundle over the space of such complex structures. Having a canonical quantization would amount to finding a natural (projectively) flat connection on this vector bundle. We prove that for a broad class of manifolds, including symplectic homogeneous spaces (e.g., the sphere), such connection does not exist....

Lie algebroids and mechanics

Paulette Libermann (1996)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We give a formulation of certain types of mechanical systems using the structure of groupoid of the tangent and cotangent bundles to the configuration manifold M ; the set of units is the zero section identified with the manifold M . We study the Legendre transformation on Lie algebroids.
