Abstract

We discuss how the existence of a regular Lagrangian description on the tangent bundle TQTQ of some configuration space QQ allows for the construction of a linear structure on TQTQ that can be considered as "adapted" to the given dynamical system. The fact then that many dynamical systems admit alternative Lagrangian descriptions opens the possibility to use the Weyl scheme to quantize the system in different non equivalent ways, "evading", so to speak, the von Neumann uniqueness theorem.
