Canonical Weyl operators on the kappa-Minkowski
noncommutative spacetime
k-Minkowski spacetime is a model of noncommutative spacetime, defined by
commutation relations among the time coordinate T and the space
coordinates Xj:
[T,Xj]=iXj.
We study the representation theory and describe the enveloping
C*-algebra, as well as the classical limit.
Some pathologies of the model will be pointed out.
