QUANTUM EXTENSIONS OF FOURIER-GAUSS AND FOURIER-MEHLER TRANSFORMS

Abstract

Noncommutative extensions of the Gross and Beltrami Laplacians, called the quantum Gross Laplacian and the quantum Beltrami Laplacian, resp., are introduced and their basic properties are studied. As noncommutative extensions of the Fourier-Gauss and Fourier-Mehler transforms, we introduce the quantum Fourier-Gauss and quantum Fourier- Mehler transforms. The infinitesimal generators of all differentiable one parameter groups induced by the quantum Fourier-Gauss transform are linear combinations of the quantum Gross Laplacian and quantum Beltrami Laplacian. A characterization of the quantum Fourier-Mehler transform is studied.
