Abstract
J.Phys.A32:771-779,1999 Exact characteristic trajectories are specified for the time-propagating
Wigner phase-space distribution function. They are especially simple---indeed,
classical---for the quantized simple harmonic oscillator, which serves as the
underpinning of the field theoretic Wigner functional formulation introduced.
Scalar field theory is thus reformulated in terms of distributions in field
phase space. Applications to duality transformations in field theory are
discussed.
