Abstract

Covariant integral quantization is implemented for systems whose phase space is Zd×ZdZ_{d} \times Z_{d}, i.e., for systems moving on the discrete periodic set Zd={0,1,d1Z_d= \{0,1,\dotsc d-1 modd} d\}. The symmetry group of this phase space is the periodic discrete version of the Weyl-Heisenberg group, namely the central extension of the abelian group Zd×ZdZ_d \times Z_d. In this regard, the phase space is viewed as the left coset of the group with its center. The non-trivial unitary irreducible representation of this group, as acting on L2(ZN)L^2(Z_{N}), is square integrable on the phase phase. We derive the corresponding covariant integral quantizations from (weight) functions on the phase space, and display their phase space portrait.
