Abstract
Specific examples of the “classical projections”, introduced in a general form in Chap. 3, are obtained here by choosing specific symmetry groups of physical systems, i.e. the Heisenberg \(2N+1\) dimensional group and some of its extensions, the rotation group SO(3) for the description of “classical spin”; briefly mentioned are also the Galilean group and the Poincaré group. The transition to classical description of systems of identical particles is also described.

It is left to the reader’s assessment, whether the forthcoming reformulation could be helpful for better understanding of the “classical limit \( \hbar \rightarrow 0\)” of the dynamics.

This fact was kindly announced to the author by Prof. Klaus Hepp (in 1985).

In \(\mathcal{H}\equiv L^2({{\mathbb R}}^n,\mathrm{d}^n x)\), it is defined as \([U_\pi \psi ](x):=\psi (-x),\ \forall \psi \in \mathcal{H},\ x\in {{\mathbb R}}^n\).

This relation between spin and statistics can be obtained as a consequence of mathematical axiomatics of relativistic quantum field theory, cf. e.g. [301].

This vector space is, as could be seen from the formula, the image of the tangent space \(T_{{{\varphi }}'}\widetilde{O}_{{{\varphi }} +}\) by the tangent map of the mapping \(PP_+^{{\varphi }}\).

For \(\mathfrak {g}_N=\bigoplus _{j=1}^N \mathfrak {g}^{(j)},\ \mathfrak {g}^{(j)}\) are copies of \(\mathfrak {g}\), one has \(\xi :=\sum _{j=1}^N \xi _j\) with \(\xi _j\in \mathfrak {g}^{(j)},\ X^j_\xi :=X_{\xi _j}\in U(\mathfrak {g})\).
