Abstract
By means of a well-established algebraic framework, Rogers–Szegö functions associated with a circular geometry in the complex plane are introduced in the context of q -special functions, and their properties are discussed in detail. The eigenfunctions related to the coherent and phase states emerge from this formalism as infinite expansions of Rogers–Szegö functions, the coefficients being determined through proper eigenvalue equations in each situation. Furthermore, a complementary study on the Robertson–Schrödinger and symmetrical uncertainty relations for the cosine, sine and nondeformed number operators is also conducted, corroborating, in this way, certain features of q -deformed coherent states.
