CY - Potsdam ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Gosson, Maurice A. de T1 - On the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators N2 - We study the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators associated to a symplectic matrix having no non- trivial fixed point, and justify a formula suggested in earlier work of Mehlig and Wilkinson. We give precise calculations of the associated Maslov-type indices; these indices intervene in a crucial way in Gutzwiller's formula of semiclassical mechanics, and are simply related to an index defined by Conley and Zehnder Y1 - 2005 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Gosson, Maurice A. de T1 - Symplectically covariant Schrodinger equation in phase space N2 - A classical theorem of Stone and von Neumann states that the Schrodinger representation is, up to unitary equivalences, the only irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group on the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on configuration space. Using the Wigner-Moyal transform, we construct an irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group on a certain Hilbert space of square-integrable functions defined on phase space. This allows us to extend the usual Weyl calculus into a phase-space calculus and leads us to a quantum mechanics in phase space, equivalent to standard quantum mechanics. We also briefly discuss the extension of metaplectic operators to phase space and the probabilistic interpretation of the solutions of the phase-space Schrodinger equation Y1 - 2005 ER - TY - INPR A1 - Gosson, Maurice A. de T1 - On the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators N2 - We study the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators associated to a symplectic matrix having no non-trivial fixed point, and justify a formula suggested in earlier work of Mehlig and Wilkinson.

This will allow us to prove a formula for the Conley-Zehnder index of the product of two symplectic paths in terms of a symplectic Cayley transform. We apply our results to a rigorous study of the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators, which plays a crucial role in the understanding of semiclassical quantization of Hamiltonian systems exhibiting chaotic behavior.
