Hilbert spaces of analytic functions and generalized coherent states

Abstract

Generalized coherent states which are associated with a generalization of the harmonic oscillator commutation relation are investigated. It is shown that these states form an overcomplete basis in a Hilbert space of analytic functions. The generalized creation and annihilation operators are bounded except in a limit in which they reduce to the usual boson creation and annihilation operators. In this limit the Hilbert space of analytic functions reduces to the Bargmann–Segal Hilbert space of entire functions and in another limit it reduces to the Hardy–Lebesgue space.
