The starting point is the definition of representation spaces due to Kostant. Besides the classical examples of Gelfand-Cetlin systems due to Guillemin and Sternberg [13] very few examples of explicit computations of real polarizations are known. The computation of Geometric Quantization in [13] is based on a theorem due to Śniatycki for fibrations [32] which identifies the representation space with the set of Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves determined by the integral action coordinates. In this article we check that the associated sheaf cohomology apparatus of Geometric Quantization satisfies Mayer-Vietoris and Künneth formulae. As a consequence, a new short proof of this classical result for fibrations due to Śniatycki is obtained. We also compute Geometric Quantization with respect to any generic regular Lagrangian foliation on a 2-torus and the case of the irrational flow. In the way, we recover some classical results in the computation of foliated cohomology of these polarizations.
