Explicit orthonormal basis conjecture for SU(2,2)SU(2,2) coherent states

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let n>1n>1, let F2,2,nU(n)F_{2,2,n}^{U(n)} be the symmetric subspace, and for ℓ,m,r,s∈N\ell,m,r,s\in\mathbb{N} define

ar,sℓ,m:=(arnasn−ar−1nas−1n)aℓn+r+samn+r+s,akn:=(n+k−1k).a_{r,s}^{\ell,m}:=(a_r^n a_s^n-a_{r-1}^n a_{s-1}^n)a_{\ell}^{n+r+s}a_m^{n+r+s},\qquad a_k^n:=\tbinom{n+k-1}{k}.

For variables Z11,Z12,Z21,Z22Z_{11},Z_{12},Z_{21},Z_{22}, define

ψr,sℓ,m:=1ℓ!r!s!m!ar,sℓ,m∑i=0min⁡(r,s)(−1)i(ri)(si)(n+r+s−2i)Z11ℓ+iZ12r−iZ21s−iZ22m+i.\psi_{r,s}^{\ell,m}:=\frac{1}{\ell!r!s!m!\sqrt{a_{r,s}^{\ell,m}}}\sum_{i=0}^{\min(r,s)}(-1)^i\frac{\tbinom{r}{i}\tbinom{s}{i}}{\tbinom{n+r+s-2}{i}}Z_{11}^{\ell+i}Z_{12}^{r-i}Z_{21}^{s-i}Z_{22}^{m+i}.

SU(2,2)SU(2,2) coherent-state basis conjecture. The set {ψr,sℓ,m:ℓ,m,r,s∈N}\{\psi_{r,s}^{\ell,m}:\ell,m,r,s\in\mathbb{N}\} forms an orthonormal basis of F2,2,nU(n)F_{2,2,n}^{U(n)}. The formulas have been checked only for small values of the parameters and arbitrary n>1n>1. The conjecture would provide the explicit orthonormal basis not supplied in the general treatment of SU(p,q)SU(p,q) coherent states; proving orthonormality is described as challenging because fixed-total-degree subspaces are generally degenerate.
