Coherent State Transforms and the Weyl Equation in Clifford Analysis
We study a transform, inspired by coherent state transforms, from the Hilbert space of Clifford algebra valued square integrable functions $L^2({\mathbb R}^m,dx)\otimes {\mathbb C}_{m}$ to a Hilbert space of solutions of the Weyl equation on ${\mathbb R}^{m+1}= {\mathbb R} \times {\mathbb R}^m$, namely to the Hilbert space ${\mathcal M}L^2({\mathbb R}^{m+1},dμ)$ of ${\mathbb C}_m$-valued monogenic functions on ${\mathbb R}^{m+1}$ which are $L^2$ with respect to an appropriate measure $dμ$. We prove that this transform is a unitary isomorphism of Hilbert spaces and that it is therefore an analog of the Segal-Bargmann transform for Clifford analysis. As a corollary we obtain an orthonormal basis of monogenic functions on ${\mathbb R}^{m+1}$. We also study the case when ${\mathbb R}^m$ is replaced by the $m$-torus ${\mathbb T}^m.$ Quantum mechanically, this extension establishes the unitary equivalence of the Schrödinger representation on $M$, for $M={\mathbb R}^m$ and $M={\mathbb T}^m$, with a representation on the Hilbert space ${\mathcal M}L^2({\mathbb R} \times M,dμ)$ of solutions of the Weyl equation on the space-time ${\mathbb R}\times M$.
