Bypassing no-go theorems on mixed classical-quantum systems: the (counter)example of hybrid van Hove theory

Motivated by models of mixed quantum-classical hybrid theories, we consider the representation of classical observables as Hilbert-space operators based on van Hove's unitary representation of contact transformations. This leads to a reformulation of classical mechanics where the phase space density satisfies the Liouv...
