That strange procedure called quantisation (Q4475017)

From the {Introduction and Motivation}: ``My intention is rather a pedagogical one: to acquaint the non-experts with some of the basic structural results in quantisation theory, which I feel should be known to anybody who intends to `quantise' something. A central result is the theorem of Groenewold and van Hove, which is primarily a no-go result, stating that the most straightforward axiomatisation of Dirac's informally presented `canonical' quantisation rules runs into contradictions and therefore has to be relaxed. The constructive value of this theorem lies in the fact that its proof makes definite suggestions for such relaxations.'' ``The present contribution deliberately takes focus on a very particular and seemingly formal point, in order to exemplify in a controllable setting the care needed in formulating `rules' for `quantisation'. At the end I will also briefly consider constrained systems from a slightly more `global' point of view. Two appendices provide some technical aspects.''
