These systems are expressed in elementary functions and are invariant under the $SO(3, 2)$ (discrete spectrum) and $SO(4, 1)$ (continuous spectrum) subgroups of the dynamical symmetry group $SO(4, 2)$ of the hydrogen atom. Both systems of coherent states are particular cases of the kernel of integral operator which interwines irreducible representations of the $SO(4, 2)$ group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2001-11-18T08:18:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hydrogen atom", "continuous spectrum", "generalised coherent states", "interwines irreducible representations", "elementary functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
