We develop the formulation of the spin(SU(2)) coherent state path integrals based on arbitrary fiducial vectors. The resultant action in the path integral expression extensively depends on the vector; It differs from the conventional one in…
From the viewpoint of the SU(2) coherent states (CS) and their path integrals (PI) labeled by a full set of Euler angles $(\phi, \theta, \psi)$ which we developed in the previous paper, we study the relations between gauge symmetries of…
We define the time-continuous spin coherent-state path integral in a way that is free from inconsistencies. The proposed definition is used to reproduce known exact results. Such a formalism opens new possibilities for applying…
In this paper, we develop the formulation of the spin coherent state in real parameterization up to SU(5). The path integral in this representation of coherent state and its classical consequence are investigated. Using the resolution of…
From the very beginning, coherent state path integrals have always relied on a coherent state resolution of unity for their construction. By choosing an inadmissible fiducial vector, a set of ``coherent states'' spans the same space but…
It was studied coherent states in complex variables in SU(2), SU(3), SU(4) groups and in general in SU(n) group. Using the completeness relation of the coherent state, we obtain a path integral expression for transition amplitude which…
It is pointed out that there are some fundamental difficulties with the frequently used continuous-time formalism of the spin-coherent-state path integral. They arise already in a single-spin system and at the level of the "classical…
The present paper is a short review of different path integral representations of the partition function of quantum spin systems. To begin with, I consider coherent states for SU(2) algebra. Different parameterizations of the coherent…
Using the generalized coherent states we argue that the path integral formulae for $SU(2)$ and $SU(1,1)$ (in the discrete series) are WKB exact,if the starting point is expressed as the trace of $e^{-iT\hat H}$ with $\hat H$ being given by…
Coherent states can be used for diverse applications in quantum physics including the construction of coherent state path integrals. Most definitions make use of a lattice regularization; however, recent definitions employ a continuous-time…
Path integral for the $SU(2)$ spin system is reconsidered. We show that the Nielsen-Rohrlich(NR) formula is equivalent to the spin coherent state expression so that the phase space in the NR formalism is not topologically nontrivial. We…

Simulating many-body quantum systems poses significant challenges due to the large size of the state space. To address this issue, we propose using an SU(2) coherent state for individual spins to simulate spins on a lattice and derive…
The SU(1,1) coherent states for a relativistic model of the linear singular oscillator are considered. The corresponding partition function is evaluated. The path integral for the transition amplitude between SU(1,1) coherent states is…
By returning to the underlying discrete time formalism, we relate spurious results in coherent state path integral calculations to the high frequency structure of their propagators. We show how to modify the standard expressions for…
We present a computation of the coherent state path integral for a generic linear system using ``functional methods'' (as opposed to discrete time approaches). The Gaussian phase space path integral is formally given by a determinant built…
A detailed derivation of the semiclassical propagator in the generalized coherent-state representation is performed by applying the saddle-point method to a path integral over the classical phase space. With the purpose of providing greater…
We define coherent states for SU(3) using six bosonic creation and annihilation operators. These coherent states are explicitly characterized by six complex numbers with constraints. For the completely symmetric representations (n,0) and…
We construct the path integral formula in terms of ``multi-periodic'' coherent state as an extension of the Nielsen-Rohrlich formula for spin. We make an exact calculation of the formula and show that, when a parameter corresponding to the…
Within the generalized definition of coherent states as group orbits we study the orbit spaces and the orbit manifolds in the projective spaces constructed from linear representations. Invariant functions are suggested for arbitrary groups.…
