Abstract

We study a transform, inspired by coherent state transforms, from the Hilbert space of Clifford algebra valued square integrable functions L2(Rm,dx)CmL^2({\mathbb R}^m,dx)\otimes {\mathbb C}_{m} to a Hilbert space of solutions of the Weyl equation on Rm+1=R×Rm{\mathbb R}^{m+1}= {\mathbb R} \times {\mathbb R}^m, namely to the Hilbert space ML2(Rm+1,dμ){\mathcal M}L^2({\mathbb R}^{m+1},d\mu) of Cm{\mathbb C}_m-valued monogenic functions on Rm+1{\mathbb R}^{m+1} which are L2L^2 with respect to an appropriate measure dμd\mu. We prove that this transform is a unitary isomorphism of Hilbert spaces and that it is therefore an analog of the Segal-Bargmann transform for Clifford analysis. As a corollary we obtain an orthonormal basis of monogenic functions on Rm+1{\mathbb R}^{m+1}. We also study the case when Rm{\mathbb R}^m is replaced by the mm-torus Tm.{\mathbb T}^m. Quantum mechanically, this extension establishes the unitary equivalence of the Schr\"odinger representation on MM, for M=RmM={\mathbb R}^m and M=TmM={\mathbb T}^m, with a representation on the Hilbert space ML2(R×M,dμ){\mathcal M}L^2({\mathbb R} \times M,d\mu) of solutions of the Weyl equation on the space-time R×M{\mathbb R}\times M.
