This paper deals with positivity properties for a pseudodifferential calculus, generalizing Weyl's classical quantization, and set on an infinite dimensional phase space, the Wiener space. In this frame, we show that a positive symbol does…

In the framework leading to the multiplicative anomaly formula ---which is here proven to be valid even in cases of known spectrum but non-compact manifold (very important in Physics)--- zeta-function regularisation techniques are shown to…

In this paper, we study the Weyl symbol of the Schr\"odinger semigroup $e^{-tH}$, $H=-\Delta+V$, $t>0$, on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, with nonnegative potentials $V$ in $L^1_{\rm loc}$. Some general estimates like the $L^{\infty}$ norm concerning…

While the definition of a fractional integral may be codified by Riemann and Liouville, an agreed-upon fractional derivative has eluded discovery for many years. This is likely a result of integral definitions including numerous constants…

We characterize the set of rectangular Weyl matrix functions corresponding to Dirac systems with locally square-integrable potentials on a semi-axis and demonstrate a new way to recover the locally square-integrable potential from the Weyl…

In this monograph we develop magnetic pseudodifferential theory for operator-valued and equivariant operator-valued functions and distributions from first principles. These have found plentiful applications in mathematical physics,…

We review the work of the authors and their collaborators on the decomposition of the zeta-determinant of the Dirac operator into the contribution coming from different parts of a manifold.

The Moyal--Weyl description of quantum mechanics provides a comprehensive phase space representation of dynamics. The Weyl symbol image of the Heisenberg picture evolution operator is regular in $\hbar$. Its semiclassical expansion…

We study the twisted Weyl symbol of metaplectic operators; this requires the definition of an index for symplectic paths related to the Conley-Zehnder index. We thereafter define a metaplectically covariant algebra of pseudo-differential…

We consider the semi-classical Dirac operator coupled to a magnetic potential on a large class of manifolds including all metric contact manifolds. We prove a sharp local Weyl law and a bound on its eta invariant. In the absence of a…

Classical pseudo-differential calculus on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ can be viewed as a (non-commutative) functional calculus for the standard position and momentum operators $(Q_{1}, \dots , Q_{d})$ and $(P_{1}, \dots , P_{d})$. We generalise this…

Dirac's ket-bra formalism is the "language" of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. In Refs.(Fan et al, Ann. Phys. 321 (2006) 480; 323 (2008) 500) we have reviewed how to apply Newton-Leibniz integration rules to Dirac's ket-bra…

The construction, in [AJN], of a pseudodifferential calculus analogous to the Weyl calculus, in an infinite dimensional setting, required the introduction of convenient classes of symbols. In this article, we proceed with the study of these…

Our paper is devoted to the oscillator semigroup, which can be defined as the set of operators whose kernels are centered Gaussian. Equivalently, they can be defined as the the Weyl quantization of centered Gaussians. We use the Weyl symbol…

We consider in detail the quantum-mechanical problem associated with the motion of a one-dimensional particle under the action of the double-well potential. Our main tool will be the euclidean (imaginary time) version of the path-integral…

The usual Weyl calculus is intimately associated with the choice of the standard symplectic structure on $\mathbb{R}^{n}\oplus\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In this paper we will show that the replacement of this structure by an arbitrary symplectic…

One can argue that on flat space $\mathbb{R}^d$ the Weyl quantization is the most natural choice and that it has the best properties (e.g. symplectic covariance, real symbols correspond to Hermitian operators). On a generic manifold, there…

We develop an abstract framework for the investigation of quantization and dequantization procedures based on orthogonality relations that do not necessarily involve group representations. To illustrate the usefulness of our abstract method…

The coupling of spin 0 and spin 1 external fields to Dirac fermions defines a theory which displays gauge chiral symmetry. Quantum mechanically, functional integration of the fermions yields the determinant of the Dirac operator, known as…
