Definition Of

Canonical transformation in a three-dimensional phase-space endowed with Nambu bracket is discussed in a general framework. Definition of the canonical transformations is constructed based on canonoid transformations. It is shown that generating functions, transformed Hamilton functions and the transformation itself for given generating functions can be determined by solving Pfaffian differential equations corresponding to that quantities. Types of the generating functions are introduced and all of them are listed. Infinitesimal canonical transformations are also discussed. Finally, we show that the decomposition of canonical transformations is also possible in three-dimensional phase space as in the usual two-dimensional one.

Gns Construction

We investigate the algebraic properties of the quantum counterpart of the classical canonical transformations using the symbol calculus approach to quantum mechanics. In this framework we construct a set of pseudodifferential operators which act on the symbols of operators, i.e. on functions defined over phase space. They act as operatorial left and right multiplication and form a W∞×W∞ algebra which contracts to its diagonal subalgebra in the classical limit. We also describe the Gel’fand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) construction in this language and show that the GNS representation space (a doubled Hilbert space) is closely related to the algebra of functions over phase space equipped with the star product of the symbol calculus.

Canonical Coordinate

This paper considers various aspects of the canonical coordinate transformations in a complex phase space. The main result is given by two theorems which describe two special families of mappings between integrable Hamiltonian systems. The generating function of these transformations is determined by the entropy and a second arbitrary function which we take to be the energy function. For simple integrable systems an algebraic treatment based on the group properties of the canonical transformations is given to calculate the eigenvalue spectrum of the energy.

Point Transformations

A conjecture in quantum mechanics states that any quantum canonical transformation can decompose into a sequence of three basic canonical transformations; gauge, point and interchange of coordinates and momenta. It is shown that if one attempts to construct the three basic transformations in star-product form, while gauge and point transformations are immediate in star-exponential form, interchange has no correspondent, but it is possible in an ordinary exponential form. As an alternative approach, it is shown that all three basic transformations can be constructed in the ordinary exponential form and that in some cases this approach provides more useful tools than the star-exponential form in finding the generating function for given canonical transformation or vice versa. It is also shown that transforms of c-number phase space functions under linear–nonlinear canonical transformations and intertwining method can be treated within this argument.

This paper considers the Lie series representation of the canonical transformations in a complex phase space. A condition is given which selects the canonical mappings from the Lie transformations associated with a complex-valued generating function. Some special types of mappings and some simple algebraic tools are discussed.
