Bosonic and k-fermionic coherent states for a class of polynomial Weyl-Heisenberg algebras (1110.4799v1)

Abstract: The aim of this article is to construct `a la Perelomov and `a la Barut-Girardello coherent states for a polynomial Weyl-Heisenberg algebra. This generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra, noted A(x), depends on r real parameters and is an extension of the one-parameter algebra introduced in Daoud M and Kibler MR 2010 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43 115303 which covers the cases of the su(1,1) algebra (for x > 0), the su(2) algebra (for x < 0) and the h(4) ordinary Weyl-Heisenberg algebra (for x = 0). For finite-dimensional representations of A(x) and A(x,s), where A(x,s) is a truncation of order s of A(x) in the sense of Pegg-Barnett, a connection is established with k-fermionic algebras (or quon algebras). This connection makes it possible to use generalized Grassmann variables for constructing certain coherent states. Coherent states of the Perelomov type are derived for infinite-dimensional representations of A(x) and for finite-dimensional representations of A(x) and A(x,s) through a Fock-Bargmann analytical approach based on the use of complex (or bosonic) variables. The same approach is applied for deriving coherent states of the Barut-Girardello type in the case of infinite-dimensional representations of A(x). In contrast, the construction of `a la Barut-Girardello coherent states for finite-dimensional representations of A(x) and A(x,s) can be achieved solely at the price to replace complex variables by generalized Grassmann (or k-fermionic) variables. Some of the results are applied to su(2), su(1,1) and the harmonic oscillator (in a truncated or not truncated form).
