Group theoretic quantization of punctured plane
Abstract
We quantize punctured plane, , employing Isham's group theoretic quantization procedure. After sketching out a brief review of group theoretic quantization procedure, we apply the quantization scheme to the phase space, , corresponding to the punctured plane, . Particularly, we find the canonical Lie group, , corresponding to the phase space, , to be . We establish an algebra homomorphism between the Lie algebra corresponding to the canonical group, , and the smooth functions, , in the phase space, . Making use of this homomorphism and unitary representation of the canonical group, , we deduce a quantization map that maps a subspace of classical observables, , to self-adjoint operators on the Hilbert space, , which is the space of all square integrable functions on with respect to the measure .
