comment Existence of a projection operator onto a classical set of density matrices
What do you want to take as the domain of your projection? Are you looking for something that sends general states to classical states (i.e. the domain is not a linear space, but also a convex subset of a linear space)?

comment What is quantum Brownian motion?
Thanks! There are also the quantum walks (see, e.g., en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_walk, arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0206053, arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0303081), which are interesting "analogs" to random walks. But they are quite different from the quantum Wiener process.

Unital in which sense? For $\phi(1)=1$, $A$ has to be unital and then you have $M(A)=A$.

comment system of homogeneous matrix equations
For $n=2$ the condition that the mixed term vanishes just means that $AB=−BA$, so those are the only solutions. In general I don't know. Does $ABB+BAB+BBA=0=AAB+ABA+BAA$ imply $AB=qBA$ with q a primitive 3rd root of unity? What do the solutions your found for $n=3$ say?

comment Good examples of random variables whose image is not a measurable set?
Yes, in probability one takes usually the Borel σ-algebra on the range (when this is a topological space, in standard courses it is R or Rd anyway) and an arbitrary (complete) σ-algebra on the domain (see, e.g., mathoverflow.net/questions/31603/…). Therefore it is natural that the map f:R→R in Dynkin's lemma should be Borel, too

comment Quantization of a classical system (e.g. the case of a billard)
@Alexander: Yes, maybe I should edit my answer. The theorems I had in mind actually require the quantisation map from class. to quantum observables to be a Lie algebra homomorphism (not just to first order in $\hbar$), see, e.g., Theorem 5.4.9 in Abraham-Marsden. Then there are two ways out: (1) restrict to sub Lie algebras, e.g. observables that are affine functions in the momenta. This leads, e.g., to the Borel quantisation discussed in the second paper (I learned QM from the first author of that paper, sorry) (2) relax to first order equality, this leads to deformation quantisation.

comment Quantization of a classical system (e.g. the case of a billard)
@Alexander: Yes, I should have said, there is no unique generally accepted method. I think the non-uniqueness is the price you have to pay to work around the no-go theorems. Maybe "physical intuition" can work to find the "right" quantisation (if you are a physicist).

comment Quantization of a classical system (e.g. the case of a billard)
You can weaken the conditions, that leads to deformation quantisation, Borel quantisation, etc. But I think there is no generally accepted method that works in all situations.

comment “geometric” description of the algebra of central functions on a Lie group
processes has only one parameter. Of course we already know that this is true more generally for simple compact Lie groups, it has to be a multiple of the Laplace-Beltrami operator.
