Geometrization of quantum mechanics

We show that various descriptions of quantum mechanics can be represented in geometric terms. In particular, starting with the space of observables and using the momentum map associated with the unitary group, we give a unified geometric description of the different pictures of quantum mechanics. This construction is an alternative to the usual GNS construction for pure states.
