Quantification relativiste

From MaRDI portal





In this memoir, the author provides a thorough introduction to the Klein- Gordon symbolic calculus of operators, and discusses an application to the Mathieu oscillator. Various old and new results are presented in a unified and systematic fashion, thus greatly enhancing their accessibility. The central theme is the analogy between the (relativistic) Klein-Gordon calculus and the (classical) Weyl calculus: while the former arises naturally from the Klein-Gordon equation, the latter can be derived analogously from Schrödinger's equation. Moreover, the Weyl calculus can be obtained as the non-relativistic limit of the Klein-Gordon calculus. Preceded by a very instructive introduction, the material is arranged in the following sixteen sections: Space-time, and the space of observers. The Klein-Gordon symbolic calculus. A digression on the Weyl calculus. Coherent states, and the relativistic Wick calculus. Invariant operators on the mass hyperboloid. The connection between Klein-Gordon symbols and relativistic Wick symbols. Klein-Gordon symbols, standard symbols, and others. Geometric inequalities, and classes of symbols. Continuity of the Klein-Gordon operators. Characterization of operators and composition. Composition of symbols. Symbols of the infinitesimal generators of the Bargmann-Wigner representation. The envelope algebra. Asymptotic expansions. Relativistic Euler operator, de Sitter group, and Mathieu oscillator. The Weyl calculus as a non-relativisitic limit of the Klein- Gordon calculus.
