Local asymptotics for slowly shrinking spectral bands of a Berezin-Toeplitz operator. (English) Zbl 1230.47055
Author’s abstract: Motivated by geometric quantization, we study how the asymptotics of certain spectral projectors of an invariant self-adjoint Toeplitz operator relate to the full level-$$k$$ Szegő kernel associated to a positive line bundle on a compact symplectic manifold. These operators quantize classical observables on the “phase space” $$M$$, and the semiclassical regime corresponds to $$k\to+\infty$$. We focus on the asymptotics of the spectral projectors for $$\xi<\frac{1}{2}$$, spectral bands of width $$O(k^{-\xi})$$ centered at $$E$$ asymptotically capture all of the Szegő kernel at points of classical energy $$E$$. On the same classical locus, these bands also realize a version of Tian’s almost isometry [G. Tian, J. Differ. Geom. 32, No. 1, 99–130 (1990; Zbl 0706.53036)].
