The $SU(2,2)$-harmonic oscillator on the phase space ${\cal A}(2,2)= {SU(2,2)}/{S(U(2)\times U(2))}$ is quantized using the coherent states. The quantum Hamiltonian is the Toeplitz operator corresponding to the square of the distance with…

We study spectral properties of two-dimensional canonical systems $y'(t)=zJH(t)y(t)$, $t\in[a,b)$, where the Hamiltonian $H$ is locally integrable on $[a,b)$, positive semidefinite, and Weyl's limit point case takes place at $b$. We answer…
Realistic quantum mechanics based on complex probability theory is shown to have a frequency interpretation, to coexist with Bell's theorem, to be linear, to include wavefunctions which are expansions in eigenfunctions of Hermitian…
The quantization of classical theories that admit more than one Hamiltonian description is considered. This is done from a geometrical viewpoint, both at the quantization level (geometric quantization) and at the level of the dynamics of…
