Quantum harmonic analysis on locally compact groups

Abstract

On a locally compact group we introduce covariant quantization schemes and analogs of phase space representations as well as mixed-state localization operators. These generalize corresponding notions for the affine group and the Heisenberg group. The approach is based on associating to a square integrable representation of the locally compact group two types of convolutions between integrable functions and trace class operators. In the case of non-unimodular groups these convolutions only are well-defined for admissible operators, which is an extension of the notion of admissible wavelets as has been pointed out recently in the case of the affine group.
