Abstract

A set of gauge transformations of a relativistic field of quantum harmonic oscillators is studied in a mathematically rigorous manner. Each wave function in the domain of the number operator of a single oscillator generates a Frechet-differentiable field of wave functions. Starting from a coherent wave function one obtains a two-dimensional differentiable manifold of coherent vector states. As an illustration it is shown that the gauge transformation can be chosen in such a way that the resulting fields describe a freely-propagating wave.
