Existence theorems for ordered variants of Weyl quantization (Q1974441)

The authors in a series of papers have already considered the problem of Weyl quantization in polar coordinates. The phase space functions to be quantized are supposed to be tempered distributions and the quantizations are linear maps from \({\mathcal S}(\mathbb{R})\to{\mathcal S}'(\mathbb{R})\). Now the authors discuss the mathematical structure surrounding non-Weyl quantization of angle functions based on Schwartz space. They also determine the matrix coefficients for the quantization of phase space functions of radius or angle. These investigations enable them to obtain properties of Weyl-like quantizations based on two families of orderings of \(e^{i(aP+ bQ)}\), including their existence.
