    AN INFINITE-DIMENSIONAL HEISENBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE

 

Yuh-Jia Lee* and Aurel Stan**

 

Abstract.

              An analogue of the classical Heisenberg inequality is given for an infinite-dimensional space. The proof relies on a commutation relationship and integration by parts formula for Gaussian measure. We also discuss when the equality holds.
