Magnetic pseudo-differential Weyl calculus on nilpotent Lie groups (Q735015): Difference between revisions

The magnetic pseudo-differential Weyl calculus on \(\mathbb R^n\) is a generalization of the Weyl calculus connected with the quantization of a particle moving in \(\mathbb R^n\) under the influence of a variable magnetic field \(B\). In the paper under review, the authors develop a pseudo-differential Weyl calculus on nilpotent Lie groups, which allows one to deal with magnetic perturbations of right invariant vector fields. For this purpose, they investigate an infinite-dimensional Lie group constructed as the semidirect product of a nilpotent Lie group and an appropriate function space. They single out an appropriate coadjoint orbit in the semidirect product and construct the pseudo-differential calculus as a Weyl quantization of that orbit.
