Abstract

We prove that Weyl quantization preserves constant of motion of the Harmonic Oscillator. We also prove that if ff is a classical constant of motion and Op(f)\mathfrak{Op}(f) is the corresponding operator, then Op(f)\mathfrak{Op}(f) maps the Schwartz class into itself and it defines an essentially selfadjoint operator on L2(Rn)L^2(\mathbb R^n). As a consequence, we provide detailed spectral information of Op(f)\mathfrak{Op}(f). A complete characterization of the classical constants of motion of the Harmonic Oscillator is given and we also show that they form an algebra with the Moyal product. We give some interesting examples and we analyze Weinstein average method within our framework.
