Integral formulas for the Weyl and anti-Wick symbols
Abstract
The first purpose of this article is to provide conditions for a bounded operator in L2(n) to be the Weyl (resp. anti-Wick) quantization of a bounded continuous symbol on 2n. Then, explicit formulas for the Weyl (resp. anti-Wick) symbol are proved. Secondly, other formulas for the Weyl and anti-Wick symbols involving a kind of Campbell Hausdorff formula are obtained. A point here is that these conditions and explicit formulas depend on the dimension n only through a Gaussian measure on 2n of variance 1/2 in the Weyl case (resp. variance 1 in the anti-Wick case) suggesting that the infinite dimension setting for these issues could be considered. Besides, these conditions are related to iterated commutators recovering in particular the Beals characterization Theorem.
