Quantization of Non-Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper a generalization of Weyl quantization which maps a dynamical operator in a function space to a dynamical superoperator in an operator space is suggested. Quantization of dynamical operator, which cannot be represented as Poisson bracket with some function, is considered. The usual Weyl quantization of observables can be derived as a specific case of suggested quantization if dynamical operator is an operator of multiplication on a function. This approach allows to define consistent Weyl quantization of non-Hamiltonian and dissipative systems. Examples of the harmonic oscillator with friction and a system which evolves by Fokker-Planck-type equation are considered.

Analog of Lie Algebra and Lie Group for Quantum Non-Hamiltonian Systems

Quantum mechanics of Hamiltonian (non-dissipative) systems uses Lie algebra and analytic group (Lie group). In order to describe non-Hamiltonian (dissipative) systems in quantum theory we need to use non-Lie algebra and analytic quasigroup (loop). The author derives that analog of Lie algebra for quantum non-Hamiltonian systems is commutant Lie algebra and analog of Lie group for these systems is analytic commutant associative loop (Valya loop). A commutant Lie algebra is an algebra such that commutant (a subspace which is generated by all commutators) is a Lie subalgebra. Valya loop is a non-associative loop such that the commutant of this loop is associative subloop (group). We prove that a tangent algebra of Valya loop is a commutant Lie algebra. It is shown that generalized Heisenberg-Weyl algebra, suggested by the author to describe quantum non-Hamiltonian (dissipative) systems, is a commutant Lie algebra. As the other example of commutant Lie algebra, it is considered a generalized Poisson algebra for differential 1-forms. Note that non-Hamiltonian (dissipative) quantum theory has a broad range of application for non-critical strings in "coupling constant" phase space and bosonic string in non-Riemannian (for example, affine-metric) curved space which are non-Hamiltonian (dissipative) systems.

Strings and Dissipative Mechanics

Noncritical strings in the "coupling constant" phase space and bosonic string in the affine-metric curved space are dissipative systems. But the quantum descriptions of the dissipative systems have well known ambiguities. We suggest some approach to solve the problems of this description. The generalized Poisson algebra for dissipative systems is considered.

Dissipative Quantum Mechanics: The Generalization of the Canonical Quantization and von Neumann Equation

The dissipative models in string theory can have more broad range of application: 1) Noncritical strings are dissipative systems in the "coupling constant" phase space. 2) Bosonic string in the affine-metric curved space is dissipative system. But the quantum descriptions of the dissipative systems have well known ambiguities. In order to solve the problems of the quantum description of dissipative systems we suggest to introduce an operator W in addition to usual (associative) operators. The suggested operator algebra does not violate Heisenberg algebra because we extend the canonical commutation relations by introducing an operator W of the nonholonomic quantities in addition to the usual (associative) operators of usual (holonomic) coordinate -momentum functions. To satisfy the generalized commutation relations the operator W must be nonassociative nonLieble (does not satisfied the Jacobi identity) operator. As the result of these properties the total time derivative of the multiplication and commutator of the operators does not satisfies the Leibnitz rule. This lead to compatibility of quantum equations of motion for dissipative systems and canonical commutation relations. The suggested generalization of the von Neumann equation is connected with classical Liouville equation for dissipative systems.
