Nonlinear shifts of q-Bose operators and q-coherent states
Alexei S. Zhedanov
Abstract
The analogue of shift for q-Bose operators is found. In contrast with the case of ordinary Bose operators this shift is a nonlinear transformation: unitary operators of shift do not form a group. Two dual systems of q-coherent states associated with these shift operators are obtained. The matrix elements of the shift operator in canonical basis are expressed via the Charlier q-polynomials.
