Abstract

Coherent states on the m-sheeted complex plane are introduced and properties like overcompleteness and resolution of the identity are studied. Operators am+, am which create and annihilate clusters of m particles are considered and it is shown that the properties of our coherent states with respect to them are analogous to the properties of the ordinary (Glauber) coherent states with respect to a+, a. An extended Bargmann representation in the m-sheeted complex plane and P and Q representations with respect to our coherent states, are studied. Applications of this formalism in the study of Hamiltonians that describe m-particle clustering are also considered.

Coherent states on the m-sheeted complex plane as m-photon states

Coherent states on the m-sheeted complex plane are introduced and properties like overcompleteness and resolution of the identity are studied. They are eigenstates of the operators a(sub m)(+), a(sub m) which create and annihilate clusters of m-particles. Applications of this formalism in the study of Hamiltonians that describe m-particle clustering are also considered.

SU(2) coherent states on an m-sheeted covering of the sphere

Apostol Vourdas

SU(2) coherent states on an m-sheeted covering of the sphere are introduced, and properties like overcompleteness and resolution of the identity are studied. Operators J+(m), J−(m), Jz(m) that obey the SU(2) algebra but shift the ‖jn〉 states by m steps are considered, and it is shown that the properties of our coherent states with respect to them are analogous to the properties of the standard SU(2) coherent states with respect to the usual angular momentum operators J+, J−, Jz. An extended SU(2) Bargmann representation on an m-sheeted sphere is introduced in which the transformations of an m-sheeted covering of the SU(2) group are implemented as extended Mobius conformal mappings. The formalism is applied in the study of Hamiltonians that contain the operators J+(m), J−(m), Jz(m) and describe processes where the state of a particle is shifted by m steps. The method is also used in the context of both the Holstein–Primakoff and Schwinger representation of SU(2).

Coherent states on the m-sheeted covering group of SU(1,1)

Apostol Vourdas

Coherent states associated with the m-sheeted covering group of SU(1,1) are considered and such properties as overcompleteness and resolution of the identity are studied. They are used to define analytic representations in which the transformations of the m-sheeted covering group of SU(1,1) are implemented as extended Mobius conformal mappings. Applications of this formalism in the study of Hamiltonians that describe m-particle clustering are also considered.

Coherent States on Riemann Surfaces as m-Photon States

Apostol Vourdas

Coherent states on the m-sheeted sphere (for the SU(2) group) are used to define analytic representations. The corresponding generators create and annihilate clusters of m-photons. Non-linear Hamiltonians that contain these generators are considered and their eigenvectors and eigenvalues are explicitly calculated. The Holstein-Primakoff and Schwinger formalisms in this context are also discussed.

Coherent states for the quantum complex plane

K. Kowalski, Jakub Rembieliński

The coherent states for the quantum complex plane are introduced. It is demonstrated that the Bargmann representation corresponding to these states involves both the standard integral with respect to the Gaussian measure and the Berezin integral over Grassmann variables. The quantum generalizations of many constructions developed for classical coherent states are described.

Generalized Bargmann functions, their growth and von Neumann lattices

Generalized Bargmann representations which are based on generalized coherent states are considered. The growth of the corresponding analytic functions in the complex plane is studied. Results about the overcompleteness or undercompleteness of discrete sets of these generalized coherent states are given. Several examples are discussed in detail.
