The Landau Problem and non-Classicality

Abstract: Exploring the concept of the extended Galilei group G. Representations for field theories in a symplectic manifold have been derived in association with the method of the Wigner function. The representation is written in the light-cone of a de Sitter space-time in five dimensions. A Hilbert space is constructed, endowed with a symplectic structure, which is used as a representation space for the Lie algebra of G. This representation gives rise to the spin-zero Schr\"odinger (Klein-Gordon-like) equation for the wave functions in phase space, such that the dependent variables have the content of position and linear momentum. This is a particular example of a conformal theory, such that the wave functions are associated with the Wigner function through the Moyal product. We construct the Pauli-Schr\"odinger (Dirac-like) equation in phase space in its explicitly covariant form. In addition, we analyze the gauge symmetry for spin 1/2 particles in phase space and show how to implement the minimal coupling in this case. We applied to the problem of an electron in an external field, and we recovered the non-relativistic Landau Levels. Finally, we study the parameter of negativity associated with the non-classicality of the system.
