Those equation seems to not be derived anywhere but just stated without proof, are they postulated or one can prove them?
The discussion centers on the mathematical equations presented in Ballentine's quantum mechanics texts (3.49 and 3.50), specifically the formulae involving velocity space and their implications. The equation e^{i v \cdot G}Ve^{-i v \cdot G}=V-vI is derived similarly to the canonical commutation relations for position and momentum, indicating a parallel structure in quantum mechanics. Additionally, the compatibility of the operators [G_\alpha,Q_\beta]=0 is established, confirming that instantaneous transformations do not affect position due to the nature of velocity and time.
PREREQUISITESQuantum physicists, advanced students of quantum mechanics, and researchers interested in the mathematical foundations of quantum theory will benefit from this discussion.
Because velocity changes position only by the passage of time. So there will be no change at the instant of transformation. Also changing the position of the particle doesn't change its velocity directly.So the two operators are compatible.the position will be unaffected by the instantaneous transformation
