We discuss a family of quasi-distributions (s-ordered Wigner functions of Agarwal and Wolf) and its connection to the so called phase space representation of the Schroedinger equation. It turns out that although Wigner functions satisfy the…

We extend the Wigner-Weyl-Moyal phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics to general curved configuration spaces. The underlying phase space is based on the chosen coordinates of the manifold and their canonically conjugate momenta. The…
