34. It can be argued that if noncommutativity exists in phase-space, the *-genvalue equation is more fundamental than the Schrödinger equation. This is so because in the Schrödinger equation, the wave functions are in position space alone, hence one has to define the action of the momentum operator on them, while in the *-genvalue problem the only necessary information comes from the commutation relations and is encoded in the *-product.
