Canonical Coherent States for the Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator

Abstract

In this paper we construct manifestly covariant relativistic coherent states on the entire complex plane which reproduce others previously introduced on a given SL(2,R)SL(2,R) representation, once a change of variables zCzDz\in C\rightarrow z_D \in unit disk is performed. We also introduce higher-order, relativistic creation and annihilation operators, \C,\Cc\C,\Cc, with canonical commutation relation [\C,\Cc]=1[\C,\Cc]=1 rather than the covariant one [Z,\Zc][\Z,\Zc]\approx Energy and naturally associated with the SL(2,R)SL(2,R) group. The canonical (relativistic) coherent states are then defined as eigenstates of \C\C. Finally, we construct a canonical, minimal representation in configuration space by mean of eigenstates of a canonical position operator.
