GALILEI GROUP AND LIOUVILLE EQUATION

Journal Article · · Annals of Physics (New York) (U.S.)
Within the framework of the Hilbert space formulation of classical mechanics, the following results are proved: the values of the canonical Poisson brackets can be inferred from the postulate of the existence of an irreducible Abelian group of unitary ray rotations; and the only irreducible Hilbert representations of the proper Galilean group that are capable of a physical interpretation are those corresponding to the free-particle Liouville equation.
