This work intends to present a study on relations between a Lie algebra called dispersion operators algebra, linear canonical transformation and a phase space representation of quantum mechanics that we have introduced and studied in…

The most standard description of symmetries of a mathematical structure produces a group. However, when the definition of this structure is motivated by physics, or information theory, etc., the respective symmetry objects might become more…
