Abstract
We discuss the notion of polarization, as defined in a geometric quantization scheme recently introduced, in terms of the role played by the evolution operator of the quantum system. The analysis uses an integral transform representation of the group WSp(2,R). This clarifies the group theoretic origin of the natural polarizations and the meaning of the polarization changing transformations.Keywords
