First order coherent Boson states
Reinhard Honegger, Alfred Rieckers · E-Periodica · 1992
We analyze the first order coherent, states (and various sub-classes) over an arbitrary C*-Weyl algebra. Their normally ordered characteristic functions are expressed in terms of an infinite, positive-definitite matrix, which exhibits an additional positive-definiteness condition if the states are classical. In the latter case the matrix elements are identified as moments of probability measures on C. By going over to measures on bC, the Bohr compactification of C, there arises a Bauer simplex of generalized classical coherent states
