Geometric quantization via push-forward or -quantization is a variant of geometric quantization in which the step from a prequantum bundle to the space of states is not (explicitly) performed by a choice of polarization and forming the space of polarized sections, but by a choice of spin^c structure and forming the fiber integration in differential K-theory of the prequantum connection. Specifically, this refines the notion of geometric quantization via Kähler polarizations.
