su(1, 1)-Barut–Girardello coherent states for Landau levels
Hossein Fakhri
Abstract
It is shown that the Hilbert space corresponding to all the quantum states of the Landau problem can be split in two different ways: as infinite direct sums of the finite- and infinite-dimensional representation subspaces of the Lie algebras su (2) and su (1,1) with finite- and infinite-fold degeneracies, respectively. For each of the Hilbert representation subspaces of the Lie algebra su (1,1), we construct a suitable linear combination of its bases as the Barut–Girardello coherent states.
