VECTOR COHERENT STATES WITH MATRIX MOMENT PROBLEMS
Abstract
Abstract. The canonical coherent states can be written as infinite series in powers of a single complex number z and a positive integer ρ(m). The requirement that these states realize a resolution of the identity typically ends up in a moment problem, where the moments form the positive sequence of real numbers {ρ(m)} ∞ m=0. In this paper we obtain new classes of vector coherent states by simultaneously replacing the complex number z and the moments ρ(m) of the canonical coherent states by n × n matrices. A matrix moment problem is proposed and it is solved by introducing a matrix weight. Associated oscillator algebras are discussed. Finally, as a physical application, a generalized version of the Jaynes-Cummings model is discussed. 1.
