β¦ Synopsis
Abstract. We give a geometric interpretation of Berezin 's symbolic calculus on Kahler manifolds in the framework of geometric quantization. Berezin's covariant symbols are defined in terms of coherent states and we study a function 6 on the manifold which is the central object of the theory. When this function is constant Berezin's quantization rule coincides with the prescription of geometric quantization for the quantizable functions. It is defined on a larger class of functions. We show in the compact homogeneous case how to extend Berezin's procedure to a dense subspace of the algebra of smooth functions.

The geometric approach to quantization was introduced by Konstant and Souriau more than 20 years ago. It has given valuable and lasting insights into the relationship between classical and quantum systems, and continues to be a popular research topic. The ideas have proved useful in pure mathematics
