Abstract

The three main objects that serve as the foundation of quantum mechanics on phase space are the Weyl transform, the Wigner distribution function, and the $\star$-product of phase space functions.

In this article, the $\star$-product of functions on the Euclidean motion group of rank three, $\mathrm{E}(3)$, is constructed. $C^*$-algebra properties of $\star_s$ on $\mathrm{E}(3)$ are presented, establishing a phase space symbol calculus for functions whose parameters are translations and rotations. The key ingredients in the construction are the unitary irreducible representations of the group.
