Principles Of Newtonian And Quantum Mechanics, The - The Need For Planck's Constant, H

This book deals with the foundations of classical physics from the “symplectic” point of view, and of quantum mechanics from the “metaplectic” point of view. The Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics is discussed. Phase space quantization is achieved using the “principle of the symplectic camel”, which is a recently discovered deep topological property of Hamiltonian flows. The mathematical ...
