Abstract

We consider a magnetic Laplacian on a compact manifold, with a constant non-degenerate magnetic field. In the large field limit, it is known that the eigenvalues are grouped in clusters, the corresponding sums of eigenspaces being called the Landau levels. The first level has been studied in-depth as a natural generalization of the Kähler quantization. The current paper is devoted to the higher levels: we compute their dimensions as Riemann–Roch numbers, study the associated Toeplitz algebras and prove that each level is isomorphic with a quantization twisted by a convenient auxiliary bundle.
