Covariant integral quantization of the unit disk

Abstract

We implement a SU(1,1) covariant integral quantization of functions or distributions on the unit disk. The latter can be viewed as the phase space for the motion of a test "massive" particle on 1+1 Anti de Sitter space-time, and the relevant unitary irreducible representations of SU(1,1) corresponding to the quantum version of such motions are found in the discrete series and its lower limits. Our quantization method depends on a weight function on the phase space, and it includes Perelomov coherent states quantization. Semi-classical portraits or lower symbols of main physically relevant operators are determined.
