- How can quantization be non-unitary?
This is a question specifically for @A. Neumaier !
At Peter Woit's blog, Arnold commented about his formalism for quantum mechanics, coherent quantization. I left a question but Peter Woit doesn't always let comments through, so, here is the question:
Why aren’t you restricted to unitary representations for physical applications? Is it because you start in Euclidean space, without time evolution? Do you impose physical unitarity in an extra step, when you transform to physical space-time?
