Star-product quantization as an autonomous quantum theory is reviewed with emphasis on its relation to path integral and Hilbert space formulations. Quantization of the usual Heisenberg group is used as an example. When phase space is the cylinder, this group is replaced by E(2), the Euclidean group in two dimensions. This case is worked out in detail. In doing so, polarizations on the cylinder are discussed and a phase space path integral is constructed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
