Abstract

In the setting of geometric quantization, we associate to any prequantum bundle automorphism a unitary map of the corresponding quantum space. These maps are controlled in the semiclassical limit by two invariants of symplectic topology: the Calabi-Weinstein morphism and a quasimorphism on the universal cover of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group introduced by Entov, Py, Shelukhin.
