A method of integration for classical and quantum equations based on the connection between canonical transformations and irreducible representations of Lie groups

Abstract

We propose a method for integrating the right-invariant geodesic flows on Lie groups based on the use of a special canonical transformation in the cotangent bundle of the group. We also describe an original method of constructing exact solutions for the Klein - Gordon equation on unimodular Lie groups. Finally, we formulate a theorem which establishes a connection between the special canonical transformation and irreducible representations of Lie group. This connection allows us to consider the proposed methods of integrating for classical and quantum equations in the framework of a unified approach.
