Chern classes of quantizable coisotropic bundles
Abstract
Let M be a smooth algebraic variety of dimension 2(p+q) with an algebraic symplectic form and a compatible deformation quantization Oh of the structure sheaf. Consider a smooth coisotropic subvariety j: Y M of codimension q and a vector bundle E on Y. We show that if j* E admits a deformation quantization (as a module) then its characteristic class A(M) exp(-c(Oh)) ch(j* E) lifts to a cohomology group associated to the null foliation of Y. Moreover, it can only be nonzero in degrees 2q, …, 2(p+q). For Lagrangian Y this reduces to a single degree 2q. Similar results hold in the holomorphic category. This is a companion paper of a joint work with Victor Ginzburg on general quantizable sheaves.
