In mathematical physics, the correspondence between quantum and classical mechanics is a central topic, which this book explores in more detail in the particular context of spin systems, that is, SU(2)-symmetric mechanical systems. A detailed presentation of quantum spin-j systems, with emphasis on the SO(3)-invariant decomposition of their operator algebras, is first followed by an introduction to the Poisson algebra of the classical spin system and then by a similarly detailed examination of its SO(3)-invariant decomposition. The book next proceeds with a detailed and systematic study of general quantum-classical symbol correspondences for spin-j systems and their induced twisted products of ... Read more

Reviews for Symbol Correspondences for Spin Systems
From the book reviews: “This book constitutes an interesting and highly useful monograph devoted to symbol correspondences, that will help the reader to better understand the existing relation between classical and quantum mechanics. For the particular case of physicists, this work will clarify the mathematical context and formalism that is not usually presented with such an amount of detail ... Read more
