Quantization of classical mechanics: Shall we lie?

摘要

We propose a Lie-Noether-symmetry solution of two problems that arise with classical quantization: the quantization of higher-order (more than second) Euler-Lagrange ordinary differential equations of classical mechanics and the quantization of any second-order Euler-Lagrange ordinary differential equation that classically comes from a simple linear equation via nonlinear canonical transformations.
