The definitions of para-Grassmann variables and q-oscillator algebras are recalled. Some new properties are given. We then introduce appropriate coherent states as well as their dual states. This allows us to obtain a formula for the trace of a operator expressed as a function of the creation and annihilation operators.
We describe coherent states and associated generalized Grassmann variables for a system of $m$ independent $q$-boson modes. A resolution of unity in terms of generalized Berezin integrals leads to generalized Grassmann symbolic calculus. Formulae for operator traces are given and the thermodynamic partition function for a system of $q$-boson oscillators is discussed.
We construct a new example of the spinning-particle model without Grassmann variables. The spin degrees of freedom are described on the base of an inner anti-de Sitter space. This produces both $Gamma^mu$ and $Gamma^{mu u}$,-matrices in the course of quantization. Canonical quantization of the model implies the Dirac equation. We present the detailed analysis of both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formulations of the model and obtain the general solution to the classical equations of motion. Comparing {it Zitterbewegung} of the spatial coordinate with the evolution of spin, we ask on the possibility of space-time interpretation for the inner space of spin. We enumerate similarities between our analogous model of the Dirac equation and the two-body system subject to confining potential which admits only the elliptic orbits of the order of de Broglie wave-length. The Dirac equation dictates the perpendicularity of the elliptic orbits to the direction of center-of-mass motion.
We study truncated Bose operators in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Spin coherent states for the truncated Bose operators and canonical coherent states for Bose operators are compared. The Lie algebra structure and the spectrum of the truncated Bose operators are discussed.
The inclusion of non-Abelian U(N) internal charges (other than the electric charge) into Twistor Theory is accomplished through the concept of colored twistors (ctwistors for short) transforming under the colored conformal symmetry U(2N,2N). In particular, we are interested in 2N-ctwistors describing colored spinless conformal massive particles with phase space U(2N,2N)/[U(2N)xU(2N)]. Penrose formulas for incidence relations are generalized to N>1. We propose U(2N)-gauge invariant Lagrangians for 2N-ctwistors and we quantize them through a bosonic representation, interpreting quantum states as particle-hole excitations above the ground state. The connection between the corresponding Hilbert (Fock-like with constraints) space and the carrier space of a discrete series representation of U(2N,2N) is established through a coherent space (holomorphic) representation.
Nonlinear fermions of degree $n$ ($n$-fermions) are introduced as particles with creation and annihilation operators obeying the simple nonlinear anticommutation relation $AA^dagger + {A^dagger}^n A^n = 1$. The ($n+1$)-order nilpotency of these operators follows from the existence of unique $A$-vacuum. Supposing appropreate ($n+1$)-order nilpotent para-Grassmann variables and integration rules the sets of $n$-fermion number states, right and left ladder operator coherent states (CS) and displacement-operator-like CS are constructed. The $(n+1)times(n+1)$ matrix realization of the related para-Grassmann algebra is provided. General $(n+1)$-order nilpotent ladder operators of finite dimensional systems are expressed as polynomials in terms of $n$-fermion operators. Overcomplete sets of (normalized) right and left eigenstates of such general ladder operators are constructed and their properties briefly discussed.
