    Consider the space 2(ℂ,()), where ()=−||2⋀ is the Gaussian measure, and its generalized Bargmann subspaces which are the null kernels of the operator Δ=−2/+(/)−;   =0,1,…. In this work, we present an other construction of following the Hermite functions which allows us to define a family of generalized Bargmann transform which maps isometrically into 2(ℝ). The generalized coherent states ∣⟩ associated to are constructed and some properties of them are given

    A holomorphic representation of the Jacobi algebra

    Full text link
    A representation of the Jacobi algebra h1su(1,1)\mathfrak{h}_1\rtimes \mathfrak{su}(1,1) by first order differential operators with polynomial coefficients on the manifold C×D1\mathbb{C}\times \mathcal{D}_1 is presented. The Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on which the holomorphic first order differential operators with polynomials coefficients act is constructed.Comment: 34 pages, corrected typos in accord with the printed version and the Errata in Rev.

    Wavelets in Banach Spaces

    Full text link
    We describe a construction of wavelets (coherent states) in Banach spaces generated by ``admissible'' group representations. Our main targets are applications in pure mathematics while connections with quantum mechanics are mentioned. As an example we consider operator valued Segal-Bargmann type spaces and the Weyl functional calculus. Keywords: Wavelets, coherent states, Banach spaces, group representations, covariant, contravariant (Wick) symbols, Heisenberg group, Segal-Bargmann spaces, Weyl functional calculus (quantization), second quantization, bosonic field.Comment: 37 pages; LaTeX2e; no pictures; 27/07/99: many small correction

    Unitary Realizations of U-duality Groups as Conformal and Quasiconformal Groups and Extremal Black Holes of Supergravity Theories

    Full text link
    We review the current status of the construction of unitary representations of U-duality groups of supergravity theories in five, four and three dimensions. We focus mainly on the maximal supergravity theories and on the N=2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity (MESGT) theories defined by Jordan algebras of degree three in five dimensions and their descendants in four and three dimensions. Entropies of the extremal black hole solutions of these theories in five and four dimensions are given by certain invariants of their U-duality groups. The five dimensional U-duality groups admit extensions to spectrum generating generalized conformal groups which are isomorphic to the U-duality groups of corresponding four dimensional theories. Similarly, the U-duality groups of four dimensional theories admit extensions to spectrum generating quasiconformal groups that are isomorphic to the corresponding U-duality groups in three dimensions. We outline the oscillator construction of the unitary representations of generalized conformal groups that admit positive energy representations, which include the U-duality groups of N=2 MESGT's in four dimensions. We conclude with a review of the minimal unitary realizations of U-duality groups that are obtained by quantizations of their quasiconformal actions.Comment: 24 pages; latex fil

    Self Duality and Quantization

    Get PDF
    Quantum theory of the free Maxwell field in Minkowski space is constructed using a representation in which the self dual connection is diagonal. Quantum states are now holomorphic functionals of self dual connections and a decomposition of fields into positive and negative frequency parts is unnecessary. The construction requires the introduction of new mathematical techniques involving ``holomorphic distributions''. The method extends also to linear gravitons in Minkowski space. The fact that one can recover the entire Fock space --with particles of both helicities-- from self dual connections alone provides independent support for a non-perturbative, canonical quantization program for full general relativity based on self dual variables.Comment: 14 page

    Two-Photon Algebra Eigenstates: A Unified Approach to Squeezing

    Get PDF
    We use the concept of the algebra eigenstates that provides a unified description of the generalized coherent states (belonging to different sets) and of the intelligent states associated with a dynamical symmetry group. The formalism is applied to the two-photon algebra and the corresponding algebra eigenstates are studied by using the Fock-Bargmann analytic representation. This formalism yields a unified analytic approach to various types of single-mode photon states generated by squeezing and displacing transformations.Comment: To appear in Annals of Physics, REVTeX with AMSsymbols, 27 pages, no figures.
