Abstract

Quantum systems with positions in \(\mathbb {\hat{Z}}\) and momenta in \(\mathbb {Q}/\mathbb {Z}\), are discussed. The Schwartz-Bruhat space of wavefunctions in these systems, is presented. The Heisenberg- Weyl group as a locally compact and totally disconnected topological group, is discussed. Wigner and Weyl functions in this context, are also discussed.
