We develop the basic theory of the Weyl symbolic calculus of pseudodifferential operators over the -adic numbers. We apply this theory to the study of elliptic operators over the -adic numbers and determine their asymptotic spectral behavior.
A quantum version of Bochner's theorem characterising Fourier transforms of probability measures on locally compact Abelian groups gives a characterisation of the Fourier transforms of Wigner quasi-joint distributions of position and momentum. An analogous quantum Bochner theorem characterises quasi-joint distributions of components of spin. In both cases quantum states in which a true distribution exists are characterised by the intersection of two convex sets. This may be described explicitly...
