Abstract

We review the standard notion of Weyl system, which stems from the Weyl formulation of the canonical commutation relations of quantum mechanics, and propose an alternative definition based on the theory of projective representations. Next, we discuss some conceptual advantages of this alternative definition. Finally, we introduce a notion of physical equivalence of group representations and propose a further ‘purely conceptual’ definition of Weyl system based on this notion.
