Complex Hermite functions as Fourier-Wigner transform

Abstract: We prove that the complex Hermite polynomials H_{m,n} on the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ can be realized as the Fourier-Wigner transform $\mathcal{V}$ of the well-known real Hermite functions $h_n$ on real line $\mathbb{R}$. This reduces considerably the Wong's proof giving the explicit expression of $\mathcal{V}(h_m,h_n)$ in terms of the Laguerre polynomials. Moreover, we derive a new generating function for the H_{m,n} as well as some new integral identities.
