In the section prequantized Lagrangian correspondences we had seen how classical mechanics is captured by smooth groupoids slices over .
We consider this now as the boundary field theory of the 2d Poisson-Chern-Simons theory in smooth infinity-groupoids over and discuss geometric quantization from the point of view of the holographic/motivic quantization of this system.
That is we consider the symplectic groupoid of a Poisson manifold as equipped with its prequantum line 2-bundle. . We linearize this to an (infinity,1)-module bundle by composing with . Then we perform the boundary path integral quantization by fiber integration in K-theory and show how this reproduces, on the boundary, traditional geometric quantization such as in particular the orbit method.
The abstract picture behind this cohomological motivic quantization is discussed at dependent linear type theory. Here we focus on explicit details for the case of KU-quantization.

Write for the -graded separable Hilbert space.
For a smooth manifold and a compact Lie group with action on , then the Hilbert bundle
equipped with the -action on the fibers given on by pullback along the right -action on itself is a universal equivariant Hilbert bundle, meaning that the space of equivariant sections of the associated Fredholm bundle is the -equivariant K-theory of
