Title: LIE GROUP DYNAMICAL FORMALISM AND THE RELATION BETWEEN QUANTUM MECHANICS AND CLASSICAL MECHANICS

Journal Article · · Revs. Modern Phys.

General structural features of dynamical theories can be exhibited in relations between classical and quantum mechanics; the essential structure is a Lie algebra of basic dynamical-variable fanctions providing transformationgroup infinitesimal generators. It is shown that the particular representation chosen is not important for the dynamical structure analysis by considering possibilities of transcribing classical and quantum mechanics each into the natural representation of the other. This leads to an outlining of the formal theory of generalized dynamics by constructing a class of Lie algebras including those of classical and quantum mechanics as special cases. (L.N.N.)
