Vector coherent states with matrix moment problems

Abstract
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 results 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. Associated oscillator algebras are discussed with the aid of a generalized matrix factorial. Two physical examples are discussed. In the first example coherent states are obtained for the Jaynes–Cummings model in the weak coupling limit and some physical properties are discussed in terms of the constructed coherent states. In the second example coherent states are obtained for a conditionally exactly solvable supersymmetric radial harmonic oscillator.
