LOCAL EXPONENTS AND INFINITESIMAL GENERATORS OF CANONICAL TRANSFORMATIONS ON BOSON FOCK SPACES

Abstract

A one-parameter symplectic group {etÂ}t∈ℝ derives proper canonical transformations indexed by t on a Boson–Fock space. It has been known that the unitary operator Ut implementing such a proper canonical transformation gives a projective unitary representation of {etÂ}t∈ℝ on the Boson–Fock space and that Ut can be expressed as a normal-ordered form. We rigorously derive the self-adjoint operator Δ(Â) and a local exponent [Formula: see text] with a real-valued function τÂ(·) such that [Formula: see text].
