Abstract

We quantize punctured plane, X=R2{0}X=\mathbb{R}^2-\{0\}, employing Isham's group theoretic quantization procedure. After sketching out a brief review of group theoretic quantization procedure, we apply the quantization scheme to the phase space, M=X×R2M=X \times \R^2, corresponding to the punctured plane, XX. Particularly, we find the canonical Lie group, G\mathscr{G}, corresponding to the phase space, M=X×R2M=X \times \R^2, to be G=R2(SO(2)×R+)\mathscr{G} = \R^2 \rtimes (SO(2)\times \R^+). We establish an algebra homomorphism between the Lie algebra corresponding to the canonical group, G=R2(SO(2)×R+)\mathscr{G} = \R^2 \rtimes (SO(2)\times \R^+), and the smooth functions, fC(M)f\in C^{\infty}(M), in the phase space, M=X×R2M=X \times \R^2. Making use of this homomorphism and unitary representation of the canonical group, G=R2(SO(2)×R+)\mathscr{G} = \R^2 \rtimes (SO(2)\times \R^+), we deduce a quantization map that maps a subspace of classical observables, fC(M)f\in C^{\infty}(M), to self-adjoint operators on the Hilbert space, H\mathscr{H}, which is the space of all square integrable functions on X=R2{0}X=\mathbb{R}^2-\{0\} with respect to the measure \ddμ=\ddϕ\ddρ/(2πρ)\dd \mu = \dd \phi\dd\rho/(2\pi\rho).
