Abstract

Cirelli, Manià and Pizzocchero generalized quantum mechanics by Kähler geometry. Furthermore they proved that any unital C*-algebra is represented as a function algebra on the set of pure states with a noncommutative *-product as an application. The ordinary quantum mechanics is regarded as a dynamical system of the projective Hilbert space P( H) of a Hilbert space H. The space P( H) is an infinite dimensional Kähler manifold of positive constant holomorphic sectional curvature. In general, such dynamical system is constructed for a general Kähler manifold of nonzero constant holomorphic sectional curvature c. The Hilbert ball B H is defined by the open unit ball in H and it is a Kähler manifold with c<0. We introduce the quantum mechanics on B H. As an application, we show the structure of the noncommutative function algebra on B H.
