O. Arratia et Ma. Delolmo, ELEMENTARY SYSTEMS OF (1-KINEMATICAL-GROUPS - CONTRACTION AND QUANTIZATION(1)), Fortschritte der Physik, 45(2), 1997, pp. 103-128
We present the (algebra) group contraction chain SU(1, 1) --> P(1, 1)
--> G(1, 1), where P(1, 1) and G(I, 1) are the Poincare and the Galile
i groups, respectively, in (1+1) dimensions. We have paid attention to
the contraction of the pseudo-extended Poincare group to the central
extended Galilei group. Objects Like group laws, coadjoint orbits and
representations of the contracted groups have been obtained in terms o
f their noncontracted counterparts. As an application we study the Moy
al quantization of classical systems, having those groups as symmetry
groups, by means of the contraction of the so called Stratonovich-Weyl
kernels which provide such quantization.
