Moyal Brackets, Star Products and the Generalised Wigner Function
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wigner-WeylMoyal approach to Quantum Mechanics is recalled, and similarities to classical probability theory emphasised. The Wigner distribution function is generalised and viewed as a construction of a bosonic object, a target space co-ordinate, for example, in terms of a bilinear convolution of two fermionic objects, e.g. a quark antiquark pair. This construction is essentially non-local, generalising the idea of a local current. Such Wigner functions are shown to solve a BPS generalised Moyal-Nahm equation.

Moyal Nahm Equations
Various aspects of the Nahm equations in 3 and 7 dimensions are investigated. The residues of the variables at simple poles in the 7dimensional case form an algebra. A large class of matrix representations of this algebra is constructed. The large N limit of these equations is taken by replacing the commutators by Moyal Brackets, and a set of non trivial solutions in a generalised form of Wigne...
متن کاملTransvectants, Modular Forms, and the Heisenberg Algebra
We discuss the amazing interconnections between normal form theory, classical invariant theory and transvectants, modular forms and Rankin–Cohen brackets, representations of the Heisenberg algebra, differential invariants, solitons, Hirota operators, star products and Moyal brackets and coherent states. † Supported in part by NSF Grant DMS 98–03154.
متن کاملMoyal Brackets in M-Theory
The infinite limit of Matrix Theory in 4 and 10 dimensions is described in terms of Moyal Brackets. In those dimensions there exists a Bogomolni’y bound to the Euclideanized version of these equations, which guarantees that solutions of the first order equations also solve the second order Matrix Theory equations. A general construction of such solutions in terms of a representation of the targ...
متن کاملDeformation quantization on a Hilbert space
We study deformation quantization on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space W endowed with its canonical Poisson structure. The standard example of the Moyal star-product is made explicit and it is shown that it is well defined on a subalgebra of C(W ). A classification of inequivalent deformation quantizations of exponential type, containing the Moyal and normal star-products, is also given.
متن کاملOn Wigner functions and a damped star product in dissipative phase-space quantum mechanics
Dito and Turrubiates recently introduced an interesting model of the dissipative quantum mechanics of a damped harmonic oscillator in phase space. Its key ingredient is a non-Hermitian deformation of the Moyal star product with the damping constant as deformation parameter. We compare the Dito-Turrubiates scheme with phase-space quantum mechanics (or deformation quantization) based on other sta...
