Abstract
In the phase space , let us denote the Poisson bracket of two smooth classical observables and their Moyal bracket, defined as the Weyl symbol of , where is the Weyl quantization of and (commutator). In this note we prove that if a smooth Hamiltonian on the phase space , with derivatives of moderate growth, satisfies for any smooth and bounded observable then must be a polynomial of degree at most 2. This is related with the Groenewold-van Hove Theorem \cite{Gotay, Groen, vHove} concerning quantization of polynomial observables.
