Berezin–Toeplitz quantization in real polarizations with toric singularities

On a compact Kähler manifold $X$, Toeplitz operators determine a deformation quantization $(\mathrm{C}^\infty (X,\mathbb{C}) [\![\hbar]\!], \star)$ with separation of variables [10] with respect to transversal complex polarizations $T^{1,0} X, T^{0,1} X$ as $\hbar \to 0^{+}$ [15]. The analogous statement is proved for compact symplectic manifolds with transversal non-singular real polarizations [13].

In this paper, we establish the analogous result for transversal singular real polarizations on compact toric symplectic manifolds $X$. Due to toric singularities, half-form correction and localization of our Toeplitz operators are essential. Via norm estimations, we show that these Toeplitz operators determine a star product on $X$ as $\hbar \to 0^{+}$.
