Coherent state theory is shown to reproduce three categories of representations of the spectrum generating algebra for an algebraic model: (i) classical realizations which are the starting point for geometric quantization; (ii) induced…
This is the first of two articles devoted to the analysis of the path description of the states in su(2)_k WZW models, a representation well suited for constructive derivations of the fermionic characters. In this first article, the cases…
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…
The Hubbard model is used to study an electronic system. In this paper we present the new path integral representation for Hubbard model. We have constructed the new supercoherent state which appears from a set of eigenfunctions of atomic…

We develop a basic formulation of the spin (SU(2)) coherent state path integrals based not on the conventional highest or lowest weight vectors but on arbitrary fiducial vectors. The coherent states, being defined on a 3-sphere, are…

Basing on the canonical quantization of a BRS invariant Lagrangian, we construct holomorphic representation of path integrals for Faddeev-Popov(FP) ghosts as well as for unphysical degrees of the gauge field from covariant operator…
In nuclear and particle physics one is often faced with problems where perturbation theory is not applicable. An example of this is the description of bound states. Therefore, an exact solution of field theory to all orders is an…
We construct the path integral formulation of the partition function for a free scalar thermal field theory using coherent states, first in the ladder operator basis and then in the field operator basis. In so doing, we provide for the…
We propose a classical constrained Hamiltonian theory for the spin. After the Dirac treatment we show that due to the existence of second class constraints the Dirac brackets of the proposed theory represent the commutation relations for…
Coherent states, and the Hilbert space representations they generate, provide ideal tools to discuss classical/quantum relationships. In this paper we analyze three separate classical/quantum problems using coherent states, and show that…
To reconstruct a mixed or pure quantum state of a spin s is possible through coherent states: its density matrix is fixed by the probabilities to measure the value s along 4s(s+1) appropriately chosen directions in space. Thus, after…
We here put forward a new path-integral over Hilbert space and show that it reproduces quantum mechanics exactly. This approach works by optimizing the generating functional under a variation of the final state; it is hence an example of a…
