Twisted convolution and Moyal star product of generalized functions

M. A. Soloviev

Abstract: We consider nuclear function spaces on which the Weyl–Heisenberg group acts continuously and study the basic properties of the twisted convolution product of the functions with the dual space elements. The final theorem characterizes the corresponding algebra of convolution multipliers and shows that it contains all sufficiently rapidly decreasing functionals in the dual space. Consequently, we obtain a general description of the Moyal multiplier algebra of the Fourier-transformed space. The results extend the Weyl symbol calculus beyond the traditional framework of tempered distributions.

Keywords: Moyal product, twisted convolution, Weyl symbol, Weyl–Heisenberg group, noncommutative field theory, topological $*$-algebra, generalized function.
