Non-Symplectic Deformations of Geometric Quantisation
Abstract
We introduce the notion of geometric pseudo-quantisation based on geometric quantisation with a weakened curvature condition. We show how such a structure arises naturally from simple deformations of the symplectic structure and pullbacks of prequantum data by non-symplectic diffeomorphisms. Our main result is deriving the equations of motion for some simple pseudo-quantisations. We also compute the pseudo-quantisation of several simple examples from symplectic and almost-symplectic geometry, as well as the general form of the resulting deformed canonical commutator.
