Abstract
- The aim of this paper is to show that the canonical quantization of the moment maps on symplectic vector spaces naturally gives rise to the oscillator representations. More precisely, let $(W,\omega)$ denote a real symplectic vector space, on which a Lie group $G$ acts symplectically on the left, where $G$ denotes a real reductive Lie group $\mathrm{Sp}(n,\mathbb R), \mathrm U(p,q)$ or $\mathrm O^*(2n)$ in this paper. Then we quantize the moment map $\mu: W \to \mathfrak g_0^*$, where $\mathfrak g_0^*$ denotes the dual space of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak g_0$ of $G$. Namely, after taking a complex Lagrangian subspace $V$ of the complexification of $W$, we assign an element of the Weyl algebra for $V$ to $< \mu, X >$, which we denote by $< \hat{\mu}, X >$, for each $X \in \mathfrak g_0$. It is shown that the map $X \mapsto \mathrm i $ gives a representation of $\mathfrak g_0$ which extends to the one of $\mathfrak g$, the complexification of $\mathfrak g_0$, by linearity. With a suitable choice of the complex Lagrangian subspace $V$ in each case, the representation coincides with the oscillator representation of $\mathfrak g$.<br />Comment: 24pages, no figure; corrected some typos (v2); 27pages, added Section 5 describing a relation between the image of complex Lagrangian subspaces by the moment map and the associated variety of the corresponding irreducible (g,K)-modules (v3); some references are added and replaced (v4)
