Abstract

We introduce a notion of smooth fields of operators following the notion of smooth fields of Hilbert spaces recently defined by L. Lempert and R. Sz\H{o}oke arXiv:1004.4863(2) . Formally, if \nabla is the connection of a smooth field of Hilbert spaces we show that ^=[,]\hat\nabla=[\nabla,\cdot] defines a connection on a suitable space of fields of operators. In order to provide examples we prove that, if uu is a suitable constant of motion of h(q,p)=q2h(q,p)=\|q\|^2 (i.e.\ {u,h}=0\{u,h\}=0), then Op(u)\mathfrak{Op}(u) is a smooth field of operators over the open interval (0,)(0,\infty), where Op\mathfrak{Op} denotes the canonical quantization (Weyl calculus). Moreover, in such case we show that we can compute derivatives using the formula ^X0(Op(u))=Op(~X0(u))\hat\nabla_{X_0}(\mathfrak{Op}(u))=\mathfrak{Op}(\tilde\nabla_{X_0}(u)), where ~\tilde\nabla is a Poisson connection on the Poisson algebra of constants of motion and X0=2λλX_0=2\lambda\frac{\partial}{\partial \lambda}. We also introduce a notion of smooth field of CC^*-algebras and we give an example using Hilbert modules theory.
