Abstract We study the formal geometric quantization of bm -symplectic manifolds equipped with Hamiltonian actions of a torus T with nonzero leading modular weight. The resulting virtual T −modules are finite dimensional when m is odd, as in [4]; when m is even, these virtual modules are not finite dimensional, and we compute the asymptotics of the representations for large weight.

1 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to continue our study of formal geometric quantization for a class of Poisson manifolds, the bm -Poisson manifolds which appeared first in the thesis of Geoffrey Scott [14], in the case where these manifolds are equipped with Hamiltonian torus actions. In the case m = 1, those are the b-symplectic manifolds of [5,6] whose quantizations

are constructed in [4]. The methods we use here are very similar to those of [4], and as in the case of b-symplectic manifolds, the quantizations turn out to have remarkable properties: We obtain finite dimensional virtual modules for m odd and infinite dimensional virtual modules with remarkable asymptotic properties for m even. We hope this repertory of examples will give further intuition about what might be a geometric quantization for more general Poisson manifolds. Let m be a positive integer. A bm -symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold M, along with a smooth hypersurface Z ⊂ M, and a choice of an m-germ of a C ∞ -function at Z along with a closed, nondegenerate bm -form ω of degree 2 on M (see
