Abstract

The leafwise complex of a reducible non-negative polarization with values in the prequantum bundle on a prequantizable symplectic manifold is studied. The cohomology groups of this complex is shown to vanish in rank less than the rank of the real part of the non-negative polarization. The Bohr-Sommerfeld set for a reducible non-negative polarization is defined. A factorization theorem is proved for these reducible non-negative polarizations. For compact symplectic manifolds, it is shown that the above complex has finite dimensional cohomology groups, more-over a Lefschetz fixed point theorem and an index theorem for these non-elliptic complexes is proved. As a corollary of the index theorem, we deduce that the cardinality of the Bohr-Sommerfeld set for any reducible real polarization on a compact symplectic manifold is determined by the volume and the dimension of the manifold.
