We consider the C*-algebras which contain the Weyl operators when the symplectic form which defines the C.C.R. is possibly degenerate. We prove that the C.C.R. are all obtained as a quotient of a universal C*-algebra by some of its ideals, and we characterize all these ideals.
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.
