• Abstract: We investigate the emergence of non-Markovian dynamics in finite-dimensional open quantum systems governed by Weyl dynamical maps and their convex combinations. Using the Hermite normal form, we provide a complete classification of the subgroups of the discrete phase space $\mathbb{Z}_d \times \mathbb{Z}_d$, establishing the algebraic framework underlying the Weyl maps. We characterize isotropic Weyl dynamical maps that generate Markovian semigroups and show that anisotropic Weyl maps with nonuniform weight distributions cannot possess the semigroup property. Furthermore, we analyze the role of convexity in the generation and suppression of memory effects. Remarkably, we prove that convex combinations of eternally non-Markovian Weyl dephasing maps can generate Markovian semigroups, demonstrating that non-Markovianity is not additive under mixing. Conversely, we establish a general condition under which convex mixtures of $N$ distinct Weyl semigroups exhibit eternal non-Markovianity. In contrast to the qubit Pauli setting, we further identify the existence of irreducible eternally non-Markovian Weyl dephasing maps, namely, individual dynamical maps that display eternal memory effects without requiring any mixing mechanism. Finally, explicit qutrit examples illustrate the transition among Markovian, non-Markovian and eternally non-Markovian regimes. Our results uncover a fundamental connection among finite phase-space algebra, convex structures, and quantum memory effects, thereby extending the theory of non-Markovian dynamics beyond the Pauli framework.
