Restricting attention to kinematics, we develop the $C^\ast$-algebraic quantum mechanics of $Sp(8,\mathbb{C})$. The non-compact group does double duty: it furnishes the quantum Hilbert space through induced representations, and it spawns…

In this paper we investigate the possibility of constructing a complete quantization procedure consisting of geometric and deformation quantization. The latter assigns a noncommutative algebra to a symplectic manifold, by deforming the…
