Abstract:
We introduce and study probabilistic interpolations of various quantization
methods. To do this, we develop a method for finding the expectations
of unbounded random operators on a Hilbert space by averaging (with the help
of Feynman formulae) the random one-parameter semigroups generated
by these operators (the usual method for finding the expectations of bounded
random operators is generally inapplicable to unbounded ones).
Although the averaging of families of semigroups generates a function that need
not possess the semigroup property, the Chernoff iterates of this function
approximate a certain semigroup, whose generator is taken for the expectation
of the original random operator. In the case of bounded random operators,
this expectation coincides with the ordinary one.
