Abstract
Affine quantization, a parallel procedure to canonical quantization, needs to use its principal quantum operators, specifically D = (PQ+QP)/2 and Q ≠ 0, to represent appropriate kinetic factors, such as P2, which involves only one canonical quantum operator. The need for this requirement stems from path integral quantizations of selected problems that affine quantization can solve but canonical quantization fails to solve. This task is resolved for simple examples, as well as examples that involve scalar, and vector, quantum field theories.Keywords
